2022 Map of Van Horn Wells

About this map

Lobo Valley serves as the central corridor of this Culberson County landscape, flanked by the prominent elevations of the Van Horn Mountains to the southwest and the Wylie Mountains in the northeast corner. This arid basin is defined by drainage systems like Wild Horse Draw and Eagle Flat Draw, which channel intermittent water through the desert floor. The presence of the Van Horn Wells Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, marking a human footprint in an otherwise sparsely populated ranching and mountain environment. Evidence of communication and surveillance history is found at Heliograph Hill, while a network of local thoroughfares including Scott Crossing Rd and Lobo Rd connect the isolated mountain passes and valley floor.
