2012 Map of Coyanosa SW

About this map

Mendel Ranch anchors this portion of Pecos County, where the high desert landscape is defined by the vital infrastructure of cattle ranching. Water remains the critical resource of the region, evidenced by the strategic placement of Lawerance Windmill, Ligon Windmill, and Beard Windmill. These named water points serve as historical markers for land ownership and survival in the Trans-Pecos. The network of local thoroughfares, including Mendel Rd and Mcintyre Rd, connects these isolated outposts to the wider region. This 2012 survey captures the persistent rural character of the area, where large-scale ranching operations and private road systems maintain the same footprint they have held for generations in this part of West Texas.
