2019 Map of Mentone

About this map

Mentone stands as the primary hub of settlement in this arid West Texas landscape, positioned at the intersection of Ranch Rd 1211 and Pecos St. The town's presence is tied to the critical water resource of the Pecos River, which carves a winding path along the southern boundary of the quadrangle. The river creates a sharp geographic contrast, defining the border between Loving, Ward, and Reeves counties. Significant terrain features like the wide Rudd Draw in the northeast and the prominent loop at Texas Bend illustrate the drainage patterns that dictate the placement of roads and homesteads in this sparse ranching country. Local transport is defined by a network of numbered routes such as Metor Rd and Co Rd 300, which extend from the town center across the undulating basin floor toward neighboring county lines.
