2010 Map of Indian Mesa

About this map

Indian Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Pecos County region, where the high desert terrain is marked by the deep incisions of Big Harkey Canyon and Upper Fourmile Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated area defined by large-scale ranching and petroleum extraction, centered on the Walker Oil Field. Evidence of human settlement is limited to the McKenzie Ranch, situated between the mesa's southern slopes and the drainage of Upper Fourmile Draw. The northern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Pecos River, which creates a distinct topographical boundary against the surrounding arid uplands. A network of rural transportation, including Ranch Rd 1901, Ranch Rd 2886, and various unnamed roads, connects these remote industrial and agricultural sites across the West Texas expanse.
