Figure 2 Ranch, Cattle ranch in Culberson County, United States
Figure 2 Ranch is a private cattle ranch in Culberson County, in the far west of Texas, covering portions of the Sierra Diablo Mountains and desert terrain. The property includes a small airstrip and testing facilities used for space vehicle operations.
The property was founded in 1890 by a former Civil War courier who later turned to cattle ranching. It grew into one of the notable land holdings in the region as West Texas developed during the late 1800s.
The Figure 2 Ranch sits in one of the most remote parts of West Texas, where the Sierra Diablo Mountains meet open desert land. The area reflects a way of ranching that has shaped life in this part of the state for well over a century.
The ranch is private property and is not open to the public. Anyone wishing to visit or explore the area should confirm access in advance with the relevant authorities or property representatives before approaching the site.
Deep in the Sierra Diablo Mountains on the ranch's land, a mechanical clock is being built to run for ten thousand years. The project, initiated by the Long Now Foundation, was designed to encourage long-term thinking on a human scale.
