2012 Map of Quito Draw

About this map

Scott Delaware Oil Field and the meandering Pecos River define this West Texas landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is characterized by ephemeral drainages and intermittent water management, seen where the Main Line Canal cuts through the western portion of the sheet. Modern transportation infrastructure is prominent, with W Interstate 20 and Ranch Road 516 providing access to the energy extraction sites and cattle country. Significant relief is found at Hays Hill in the north, while the southern portion transitions into the drainage basin for Toyah Cr and the namesake Quito Draw. The map illustrates the industrial footprint of petroleum exploration upon a traditional ranching environment.
