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 thirty-six miles northeast of Van
Horn at approximately 32°27' 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 southern Culberson County, paralleling Interstate 10; the
Southern 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.
