2013 Map of Wild Horse

About this map

Wild Horse Cr meanders through the central basin of this Culberson County landscape, defining the drainage patterns and historical ranching boundaries of the region. The map documents a sparsely settled desert terrain where family and commercial ranching operations like Harper Ranch and Durrill Camp established footholds. Transportation is centered on a network of ranch-to-market corridors, including Ranch Road 2809 and Ranch Road 2185, which intersect with more modern infrastructure like Frontage Rd. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring cattle-country character of the West Texas high desert, showing how water sources like Hackberry Cr and seasonal drainages dictated the placement of roads and remote outposts.
