2022 Map of Ninemile Ranch

About this map

The settlement of Emerson serves as a lonely landmark in this high desert landscape of West Texas, situated along the shared boundary between Pecos and Terrell counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses, where ephemeral drainage systems like Sanderson Cr and Dry Cr carve intricate patterns through the limestone plateaus. Life in this arid environment revolves around vital water collection points such as Jackson Tank and Fortyone Tank, which provide necessary resources for ranching operations in a region dominated by deep draws and canyons.
