The Pecos River forms a jagged natural boundary along the northern edge of this West Texas landscape, where the Ward and Reeves county lines meet. Dominated by the arid expanses of the Trans-Pecos, the area is defined by a network of ranch roads and specialized industrial infrastructure. The namesake Ligon Ranch sits in the northeast, while the southwestern corner is marked by the distinct geometry of the Bf Goodrich Testing Track Rd, a specialized facility for automotive evaluation. Cross-country travel is facilitated by Farm Rd 1450, which cuts a straight line through the basin. Local water drainage patterns are evidenced by Blake Draw, a seasonal drainage that feeds toward the river, illustrating the sparse but vital hydraulic network in this part of Pecos County.
