2010 Map of Divide Country

About this map

Divide Country characterizes this section of the West Texas landscape, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages. The map reveals the intricate watershed patterns of South Sixmile Draw and North Sixmile Draw, which cut through the arid geography. This 2010 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the modern infrastructure of the region, anchored by the passage of Interstate 10 as it skirts Upper Fourmile Draw. While much of the land remains open, local access is facilitated by routes like Long Loop Rd, connecting various points across the high desert floor. The northern portion of the quadrangle is marked by more pronounced relief where Riffle Canyon and Little Riffle Canyon descend into the surrounding draws, illustrating the erosion patterns typical of this portion of Pecos County.
