2019 Map of Ninemile Ranch

About this map

The settlement of Emerson and the nearby Ninemile Ranch anchor this landscape along the border of Pecos and Terrell Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of dry watercourses, most notably Sanderson Canyon and the winding Sanderson Cr. Strategic water management is evident through labeled features like Fortyone Tank and Jackson Tank, which provide essential resources in this arid environment. Transportation through the area follows the natural topography, with Nine Mile Rd and Eight Mile Rd connecting the scattered ranching interests. This map highlights the rural infrastructure of West Texas, where drainage patterns like Red Windmill Draw and Threemile Draw dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
