of Texas. It is one of the nine counties that comprise the
Trans-Pecos region of West Texas. In 2000, its population was

Culberson County is located in the Trans-Pecos region of West
Texas. It is bordered by New Mexico to the north and by Hudspeth,
Reeves, and Jeff Davis counties in Texas. Van Horn, the county
seat, is approximately 120 miles east of El Paso in the
southwestern part of the county. The county's center lies about

north latitude and 104°29' west longitude. Interstate Highway 10
and U.S. Highway 80 cross southern Culberson County from east to
west; U.S. Highway 90 enters the county from the south and
terminates at Van Horn; and U.S. highways 62 and 180 cross the
county's northwestern corner. The Missouri Pacific Railroad crosses

Pacific crosses the county's southwestern corner; and a spur of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe enters northeastern Culberson County
from New Mexico and ends at Rustler Springs.
