About this map

The Pecos River serves as the primary geographic and political boundary in this West Texas survey, winding through the arid landscape to divide Reeves and Loving Counties. This portion of the Trans-Pecos region is sparsely settled, with the small community of Riverton located in the southeastern corner near the riverbanks. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses and drainage features like Sand Bend Draw and Fourmile Draw, which punctuate the high desert floor.

Modern infrastructure is represented by a network of rural routes including FM 652 and Co Rd 441, providing access to remote ranchlands and industrial sites. Small water management features like Big Tank illustrate the historical necessity of capturing runoff in this dry environment. The map captures a moment in the early 2020s where traditional ranching geography meets modern county road developments along the river's winding path.
