2016 Map of Mentone

About this map

Mentone serves as the focal point of this arid West Texas landscape, positioned near the intersection of Ranch Rd 1211 and several local county roads. The settlement's grid, featuring streets like Ave B and Pecos St, reflects its role as the administrative seat of one of the nation's least populous counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pecos River, which forms the southwestern boundary of Loving County. Notable hydrologic features include the prominent loop at Texas Bend and the drainage of Rudd Draw to the northeast. Transportation patterns are dictated by the oil and gas industry, indicated by the network of corridors like Lumber Co Rd and Metor Rd that branch out across the scrubland. This survey captures the sparse human footprint in a region where the vast distances between named landmarks underscore the isolation of the Permian Basin interior.
