About this map

The Pecos River carves through the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, marking the natural divide along the Loving Co Reeves Co boundary. This arid terrain is defined by the network of corridors that facilitate movement across the basin, most notably Ranch Rd 652, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle. Local routes such as Pecos St provide access to the interior, where the topography rises into a series of ridges and draws characteristic of the Delaware Basin. While primarily an open landscape of topographic detail and ephemeral water sources like N Tank, the map illustrates the infrastructure required to navigate the remote borderlands between Reeves and Loving counties in the mid-2010s.
