You mean like this? (Google Maps street view from I-10 about 9 miles north of Fort Quitman)

Yep not much better looking. Very sandy. Growing a garden would be next to impossible, at least with traditional methods. Think I would do in containers of some sort to hold good garden soil.
 
One question to ask your self. In a SHTF event, would you be saying "This Is the Place I want to bug out to" your answer could be what makes it so appealing to some. When have you ever heard somebody say "In an emergency I am headed for the desert"? I am betting never, so the likelihood of uninvited guests showing up is slim and none. Normal farming techniques probably won't work but some different types may do real well. The water is going to be the key factor. What is the annual rain fall will be key. It looks like there will be plenty of sand for a filter.

What about digging a well?

I don't see why not, could be expensive depending how deep it is, around that area is reported around 600-2000 feet deep. look at page 164 in the PDF to get a better sence on what you're facing.

Edited: corrected grammar :-/

There is a lot of farming in West Texas (with use of a water well).You can raise free range cattle it’s like something like 70 acres per head. Also there are thousands of rabbits out there ,something like 1 deer for every 1000 acres, few goats , havaliva , a lot of coyotes and rattle snakes. I have hunted and done business quit a bit in West Texas to know this about the region.
