2022 Map of Belding NW

About this map

Ephemeral watercourses define the arid landscape of Pecos County, where the topography is shaped by seasonal drainage systems like Hackberry Draw in the northwest and the winding course of Coyanosa Draw further south. This 2022 survey documents a sparsely populated region of West Texas where human presence is primarily marked by a grid of ranch and access roads. The transit corridor is dominated by the east-west path of I10 Svc Rd, while north-south connectivity is provided by gravel and dirt routes such as Kennedy Rd and Braden Rd. These roads serve as vital links between remote landholdings and irrigation sites, reflecting the late 20th and early 21st-century agricultural and ranching infrastructure characteristic of the Trans-Pecos region. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between the natural elevation contours and the placement of modern transportation routes across this high desert environment.
