Culberson

The Chihuahuan Desert and the Guadalupe Mountains define much of Culberson County – ranching, long-distance travel services, and protected-land tourism shape its sparsely settled character and economy. In far West Texas, the county reaches Guadalupe Mountains National Park, where Guadalupe Peak rises to 8,751 feet, the highest point in Texas; the prominent El Capitan formation stands nearby. The Salt Basin lies west of the range, underscoring the sharp transition from desert floor to mountain wall. Van Horn, the county seat, is an important stop along Interstate 10. Created in 1911, Culberson County was named for Texas politician David B. Culberson. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Culberson County.
