About this map

Divide Country is defined by a network of drainage channels and canyons cut into the limestone plateaus of Pecos County. The landscape is dominated by complex systems of draws, including North Sixmile Draw, South Sixmile Draw, and the extensive Lower Fourmile Draw. These ephemeral watercourses suggest a high-desert environment where water management and natural drainage dictate the layout of the land.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Canon Ranch Airport, which serves as a remote aviation outpost near the junction of several drainage basins. Transportation across this isolated terrain is facilitated by 110 Svc Rd and the winding path of Long Loop Rd, which navigates the ridges above Little Riffle Canyon and the primary Riffle Canyon. The map illustrates the sparsely populated nature of the region, focusing on the topography of the Texas ranch lands.
