2022 Map of Aragon

About this map

High desert plateaus and deeply incised drainage systems define this Presidio County landscape, where elevation changes reveal the slow movement of water across an arid terrain. The map is bisected by the primary transit corridor of 90, which cuts across the northern expanse, providing a vital link through the Trans-Pecos region. To the northeast, the land drops away into the namesake drainage of Big Trestle Draw, a feature suggesting the historical engineering challenges of crossing the desert floor with rail or road infrastructure. In the southern half of the quadrangle, Ranch Rd 2810 snakes through the topography, connecting the open ranch lands to the regional network. This survey captures a space of vast intervals and few named landmarks, highlighting how infrastructure must conform to the natural breaks and draws of the West Texas geology.
