2019 Map of East Mesa SW

About this map

White Tank sits near the northern boundary of this Pecos County landscape, providing a rare point of named water management in an area defined by its drainage patterns. The terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses that cut through the topography, notably Sixshooter Draw and the descriptively named Hole in the Ground Draw. These features reflect the arid character of West Texas, where the local economy and land use are dictated by the intermittent flow of water across the mesa. South Linger Draw traverses the southeastern section, while University Rd offers the primary named access point through this sparsely developed territory, which was documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2019.
