2010 Map of Jordan Gap

About this map

Perdiz sits in the northwest corner of this West Texas landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Alamito Creek carves through the high desert. The area is defined by a series of prominent elevated landforms, including Gemelo Mesa and Antelope Mesa, which rise above the surrounding flats. A network of unimproved roads and trails suggests a terrain primarily utilized for ranching and transit through the remote corridors of Presidio County. At the heart of the region lies Jordan Gap, a natural passage between the mesas. To the east and south, the topography descends into Paradise Valley and the steep-walled Beef Canyon, while the expansive Cartwright Mesa dominates the southeastern quadrant. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the persistent land use and natural landmarks of the Trans-Pecos region, where naming conventions often reflect the local wildlife and cattle-grazing heritage.
