2012 Map of Cap Rock Butte

About this map

Skevington Ranch serves as a primary human landmark in this section of Pecos County, where the high desert landscape is defined by drainage patterns and isolated water sources. The terrain is dominated by the prominent Cap Rock Butte in the northeast, while the rest of the quadrangle is etched by seasonal watercourses like Red Mill Draw. These ephemeral streams and the presence of the Red Windmill highlight the essential nature of water management for ranching in this arid environment. Transportation through this part of the Trans-Pecos is facilitated by Longfellow Rd, which cuts across the northern reaches of the map, providing a vital link through the sparse open country that has sustained livestock operations for generations.
