2012 Map of Rock House Draw NW

About this map

The arid landscape of Pecos County, Texas, is defined by the vital network of ranch roads and water management features essential to West Texas life in the early 2010s. Bisecting the territory is the corridor of 285, which serves as the primary artery through this high-desert terrain. The map highlights the reliance on artificial water sources in this dry environment, specifically noting infrastructure like Hole-in-the-Ground Tank and Stockton Tank. These features represent the critical points of intersection between the natural topography and the human efforts to sustain livestock and agriculture in a region where surface water is a rarity. The intricate web of local roads winding across the landscape suggests a pattern of active land use and property access characteristic of large Texas ranching tracts.
