2016 Map of East Mesa SW

About this map

White Tank and a network of named drainage draws define this arid West Texas landscape in Pecos County. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with the contour lines illustrating the namesake mesa formations. Water management and drainage are the primary geographic features, seen in the convergence of Sixshooter Draw and the descriptively named Hole in the Ground Draw. Human presence is minimal on this sheet, represented primarily by University Rd, which provides north-south transit across the open range. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the land descends toward South Linger Draw, showing the natural runoff patterns characteristic of the Trans-Pecos region.
