2019 Map of Fivemile Mesa

About this map

Fivemile Mesa rises prominently above the West Texas landscape, a distinct landform that anchors this section of Pecos County. The plateau dominates the northern half of the area, its contours defining the local topography as the land slopes toward Sixshooter Draw in the southeast. A small residential grid is established in the northwest corner, characterized by streets named for local avian life such as Cardinal St, Robin St, and Hummingbird Ln. This 2019 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where modern ranching or rural development meets traditional topographical features. A major roadway cuts diagonally through the center of the sheet, providing the primary artery for travel through this open terrain. The combination of established street names and ancient landforms reflects the gradual human imprint on this part of the Trans-Pecos region.
