2016 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

Imperial Canal Number Three cuts a straight path through this arid Pecos County landscape, reflecting the long-standing agricultural water management strategies of the Trans-Pecos region. The settlement of Buena Vista sits at the junction of local transit routes, including Buena Vista Rd, while the natural topography is defined by the intermittent flows of Leon Cr and the broad expanse of Diamond Y Draw. These ephemeral water features, alongside Comanche Cr in the southeast, dictate the historical placement of roads and property boundaries in an area dominated by cattle ranching and large-scale landholdings. A network of secondary roads such as Seven Mile Rd and Owego Rd connect the scattered homesteads and ranching hubs, illustrating the sparse but vital infrastructure required for life in the West Texas scrubland during the early 21st century.
