2022 Map of W T Ranch

About this map

Water management defines the arid landscape of this Reeves County rangeland, where numerous livestock tanks are the primary landmarks across the rolling terrain. Named features such as Cottonwood Tank, Carruthers Tank, and Seven Up Tank serve as vital catchments, punctuating a geography otherwise marked by dry washes and seasonal drainage systems. These ephemeral watercourses, including Coalson Draw, W T Draw, and John D Draw, illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of West Texas. The infrastructure is sparse, characterized by Ranch Rd 2119 and a network of county roads like Co Rd 336 and Co Rd 232, which provide access to remote ranching operations. The prevalence of these family-named and descriptive tanks, from Dagger Tank to Lynn Tank, offers a localized view of how water resources are distributed and named within the W T Ranch area.
