About this map

The Pecos River meanders across this West Texas landscape, defining a corridor of agricultural and industrial activity in Pecos County. The settlement of Imperial serves as the local hub, flanked by the residential area of Imperial Colonia and the smaller Abell City to the south. This arid region is heavily modified by an extensive irrigation network, including Imperial Canal Number Five and the Highline Canal, which divert water to support local land use.

Energy extraction is a primary feature of the terrain, with several established petroleum sites such as the Tucker Oil Field, Abell Oil and Gas Field, and Atapco Oil Field dotting the plains. A grid of local roads, including Old Grand Falls Hwy and Cemetery Rd, connects these industrial sites to the river valley. The map documents a landscape where traditional water management for ranching and farming exists alongside the modern footprint of the Texas oil and gas industry.
