2016 Map of F C Ranch

About this map

The F C Ranch landscape in Pecos County is defined by a complex network of arroyos and draws that drain the Trans-Pecos desert. Large-scale ranching operations are evidenced by the naming of various water collection points, including Vega Tank, Steer Tank, Chicken Tank, and Jimmy Tank. These features were vital for livestock management in a territory characterized by significant elevation changes, particularly around the Wildcat Mountains in the eastern portion of the map. Transport through this terrain relies on Longfellow Rd, which winds past prominent topographic landmarks such as Big Canyon, Rebecca Draw, and Downie Draw. The placement of the F C Ranch headquarters at a central junction of these drainage paths and roads illustrates the strategic geography required for high-desert survival and industry in West Texas.
