About this map

Fort Stockton serves as the primary hub of activity in this mid-1980s look at the Pecos County landscape, where the Atwison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line meets a network of local roads. The town's layout is well-defined, including the City-County Airport and a local Cem, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by prominent landforms like Big Mesa, Sevenmile Mesa, and Twelvemile Mesa.

A complex network of ephemeral watercourses, such as Comanche Creek and the vast Monument Draw, illustrates the arid geography of West Texas. Industrial activity is evident in the scattered Oil and Gas Fields and specialized sites like Gravel Pit. To the east, the small settlement of Bakersfield sits near Tunas Creek, providing a secondary anchor in a region otherwise characterized by isolated peaks like Panther Bluff and Sierra Madera.
