About this map

Chancellor serves as the central focal point of this West Texas landscape, situated at the junction of several key regional routes. The map documents a sparsely populated area of Pecos County where the vast drainage of Acebuche Draw and the course of Burnt House Cr define the movement of water through the arid terrain. Dominating the northern horizon, the distinct peaks of Triple Butte provide a significant visual landmark for travelers and ranchers alike.

Transportation infrastructure is a defining characteristic of this sheet, highlighting the path of the Old Alpine Hwy and Chancellor Rd. These thoroughfares, along with Esca Lera Rd, illustrate the connectivity between remote ranching outposts and larger regional centers. The topographic contours reveal a landscape of subtle elevation changes and expansive draws, typical of the high desert environment of the Trans-Pecos region.
