2022 Map of Divide Country

About this map

Divide Country serves as the central focal point of this Pecos County landscape, where the high plateau is incised by a complex system of seasonal drainages and canyons. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, most notably where Riffle Canyon and Little Riffle Canyon cut through the northern reaches. These natural corridors give way to an extensive network of draws, including North Sixmile Draw, South Sixmile Draw, and Sixmile Draw, which illustrate the arid-land hydrology of West Texas. Interstate 10 traverses the southern half of the map, accompanied by the I10 Svc Rd, providing a modern transport contrast to the isolated paths like Long Loop Rd. The map also captures the lower reaches of the watershed at Lower Fourmile Draw and Fourmile Draw, documenting the essential drainage patterns that dictate the placement of ranch roads and remote settlements in this part of the Trans-Pecos region.
