About this map

Divide Country characterizes this stretch of the Trans-Pecos, where the high desert landscape is defined by a series of significant drainage systems. These ephemeral watercourses, including North Sixmile Draw and South Sixmile Draw, carve through the arid terrain, illustrating the natural watershed patterns of Pecos County. The topography is further punctuated by Little Riffle Canyon in the northeastern quadrant, a distinct landform amidst the broader plateau.

Transportation through this ranching territory is anchored by a major corridor flanked by Frontage Rd, which cuts diagonally across the southwestern portion of the map. Away from the highway, the interior is accessed by local routes such as Long Loop Rd, connecting remote areas of the county. In the southern reach, the terrain drops toward Lower Fourmile Draw, highlighting the gradual descent of the plateau toward more distant basins.
