2010 Map of F C Ranch

About this map

The Wildcat Mountains dominate this West Texas landscape in the early 21st century, where the cattle industry remains the primary economic and geographic driver. The map centers on the ranching infrastructure essential for life in this arid climate, specifically the F C Ranch and the Faith Cattle Company, Longfellow Ranch Airport, which provides an aerial link for this isolated region. A network of named water sources and windmills, such as the Downie Draw Windmill and Jimmy Tank, illustrates the persistent need for water management in Pecos County. The layout of Longfellow Rd follows the natural contours and drainage paths of numerous ephemeral waterways, including Downie Draw and Baker Draw, showing how the modern transportation network still respects the original ranching boundaries and terrain constraints of the region.
