About this map

Indian Mesa dominates this western Texas landscape, rising sharply above the surrounding desert terrain in Pecos County. The topographical relief is defined by deep incisions like Big Harkey Canyon and the expansive drainage of Upper Fourmile Draw. In the northeastern corner, the Pecos River serves as the natural boundary between Crockett Co and Pecos Co, carving a path through the arid plateau.

Modern infrastructure is represented by a network of ranch and service roads, including Ranch Rd 1901 and Ranch Rd 2886, which provide access to this isolated region. The southern edge of the sheet is paralleled by the I10 Svc Rd, reflecting the corridor's importance for transportation across the Trans-Pecos. This 2016 survey documents the enduring physical character of the high mesa country and its sparsely settled road network.
