About this map

The Pecos River serves as the winding centerpiece of this West Texas landscape, defining the jagged border between Crane and Pecos Counties. This segment of the river valley is characterized by complex hydrology and arid landforms, including the extensive Salt Flat and the basin of Soda Lake. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Landreth Draw, Diamond Y Draw, and Comanche Cr, which demonstrate the natural runoff patterns of the Trans-Pecos region.

Local transportation is represented by a network of rural routes including Horse Head Rd, Dawson Rd, and Beaver Rd. Of particular interest to local historians is the alignment of Horse Head Rd, a name historically associated with a critical river crossing in the mid-19th century. This 2019 data illustrates the intersection of modern state roads like FM 11 with these older established ranching and transit corridors.
