About this map

Arid canyonlands and desert drainage systems characterize this Pecos County landscape as it was documented in the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by two primary watercourses, Acebuche Draw and Belding Draw, which cut through the high mesa country and serve as the principal topographic anchors for the region. These ephemeral channels provided critical drainage in an environment where water management was paramount for ranching and local operations. Evidence of human infrastructure is sparse but functional, centered on isolated water catchments such as Wade Tank and Granger Tank. A remote Landing Strip in the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the logistical challenges of accessing this high-elevation terrain. This survey captures a moment of quiet utility in West Texas, where the land is marked primarily by these vital water features and the occasional industrial footprint of a Gravel Pit.
