2012 Map of Jordan Gap

About this map

Perdiz sits at the northwestern edge of this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, where the topography is defined by prominent plateaus and drainage corridors. The terrain is dominated by high elevations including Antelope Mesa and Gemelo Mesa, which overlook the natural passage of Jordan Gap. To the south, the broad Cartwright Mesa stands as a significant landmark in this arid region of West Texas. The hydrological patterns of the area are primarily shaped by the winding course of Alamito Cr, which carves through the undulating ground between these mesa formations. This 2012 survey illustrates the isolated ranching and transit environment of the Trans-Pecos, where sparse settlements and remote crossings dictate the local geography.
