2010 Map of Fivemile Mesa

About this map

Fivemile Mesa and the expansive drainage of Sixshooter Draw characterize this West Texas landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by the distinct topographic rise of the mesa and the seasonal watercourses typical of the Trans-Pecos region. S Hwy 285 cuts a diagonal path through the quadrangle, serving as the primary transportation artery for the area. In the northwest corner, the Comanche Creek Reservoir provides a critical water feature in an otherwise arid environment. This 2010 survey reflects a period of modern ranching and infrastructure, where the vast stretches of open land are segmented by local roads and property boundaries, illustrating the enduring relationship between human transport routes and the natural landforms of Pecos County.
