2010 Map of Marathon Gap

About this map

Marathon Gap serves as a primary geographic focus in this Pecos County landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the W B Flats in the south. The area is defined by its drainage systems, most notably Sixshooter Draw and Nineteen Draw, which carve through the high desert floor. Human activity is centered on ranching and transport infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Allison Ranch Airport and the network of local thoroughfares including Longfellow Rd and the historic Wagon Rd. To the southeast, Clark Butte rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding flats. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring nature of west Texas ranch lands, where modern aviation infrastructure and traditional wagon routes occupy the same vast space.
