About this map

Imperial Canal Number Five and Imperial Canal Number Three cross this arid stretch of Pecos County, illustrating the engineered water management required for agriculture and industry in West Texas. These waterways, along with the Highline Canal, supplement natural drainage features such as Leon Creek and Comanche Creek. The landscape is largely defined by its drainage patterns, notably Diamond Y Draw, which cuts through the central terrain. Transportation is facilitated by a network of rural roads including FM 11, Old Girvin Road, and Woodward Road, which follow the long-established paths through the basin. This USGS survey highlights the reliance on irrigation infrastructure to sustain human activity in a region where surface water is scarce and topographical contours guide the placement of canals and thoroughfares.
