2010 Map of Rock House Draw NW

About this map

South Linger Draw carves through this arid stretch of Pecos County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and sparse desert infrastructure. This 2010 survey reflects a high-plains environment where water management is critical to ranching and local land use, evidenced by named catchments like Hole-in-the-Ground Tank and Stockton Tank. These features, often the only distinct landmarks in the vast open terrain, highlight the historical reliance on artificial basins for livestock in the Trans-Pecos region. Transportation across this area is anchored by the diagonal corridor of S Hwy 285, which provides the primary link through the undulating topography and connecting drainage systems of the West Texas interior.
