About this map

The Pecos River snakes across this West Texas landscape, serving as the central geographic feature between the city of Pecos and the town of Barstow. This 2010 survey illustrates a complex network of water management, characterized by the Main Line Canal and multiple distributaries like Lateral Number One, Lateral Number Two, and Lateral Number Three. These irrigation features reveal the agricultural engineering required to sustain the communities in this arid environment.

Local history is preserved in the town sites and burial grounds shown on both sides of the river, including the Santa Rosa Cemetery in Pecos and the Barstow Cemetery further north. Public spaces such as Dean Memorial Park and natural landmarks like Mosquito Lake and Toyah Creek anchor the map, while a grid of ranch and county roads connects the scattered homesteads and industrial corridors of Ward and Reeves counties.
