2016 Map of Cave Mesa NE

About this map

Pikes Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Pecos County, anchoring a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and dry watercourses. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Acebuche Draw and Belding Draw, which cut through the terrain to reveal the natural hydrologic flow of this West Texas environment. Human passage through this area is traced by the historic route of the Old Alpine Hwy in the northwest and Esca Lera Rd winding through the southern reaches. This 2016 survey captures the high-desert character of the region, showing how modern ranch roads and historic highways follow the contours of the land around the central ridge lines and mesa edges.
