2019 Map of East Mesa

About this map

East Mesa and the prominent elevations of Guayule Mtn and Round Mtn define this Pecos County landscape. The mapping shows a transition from the elevated plateaus and mesa breaks into the lower desert plains, where a sparse network of ranch roads and thoroughfares like Gulf Rd and Fm 2037 connect the remote terrain. In the southern portion of the sheet, the modern infrastructure of Interstate 10 and its frontage road, I 10 SVC RD, cuts across the dry landscape, meeting University Rd. This 2019 survey documents the intersection of high-speed transit corridors with the traditional cattle-country access roads such as Streul Rd, illustrating how geographic barriers like the mesas continue to dictate the placement of transportation routes in West Texas.
