2019 Map of Big Canyon Ranch NW

About this map

Big Divide dominates the high ground in this arid section of Pecos County, serving as a significant topographical marker for the surrounding drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the high plateau is incised by several major dry washes, including Cliett Draw and the extensive Big Canyon. Human presence is largely defined by the winding path of Highway 285, which cuts through the terrain alongside ranching infrastructure like Mitchell Rn Rd. The map illustrates the specialized water management of the West Texas landscape, showing how seasonal runoff is funneled through features such as Clark Place Draw. This 2019 survey provides a modern record of the land use and natural hydrology in a region where topography dictates transportation and ranch boundaries.
