2019 Map of Cactus Flat

About this map

Cactus Flat sits within a high-altitude landscape where the drainage patterns of Walnut Draw have carved deep incisions into the surrounding plateau. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely settled portion of West Texas, defined by the prominent elevation of Whirlwind Mesa to the southeast. The area is traversed by Escondido Rd, which winds through the terrain as it crosses the county line shared by Presidio and Brewster Counties. The map illustrates a stark geographic transition from the open flats to the complex system of draws and mesas that characterize this region of the Trans-Pecos, providing a clear record of the modern road network and topographic relief in a remote part of the state.
