2010 Map of East Mesa SW

About this map

White Tank and a network of named windmills define the functional landscape of this portion of Pecos County, Texas. This 2010 survey illustrates the vital water infrastructure necessary for ranching and land management in the arid West Texas terrain. The map tracks several critical drainage features, including Sixshooter Draw, Hole in the Ground Draw, and South Linger Draw, which shape the topography of the East Mesa area. The distribution of features like the Five Section Windmill, Horse Pasture Windmill, and Ike Windmill reveals how local resources were partitioned for grazing. These labels provide specific geographic anchors for researchers studying the mid-to-late 20th-century land use and ranching genealogy of the region.
