About this map

The town of Sheffield sits at a geographic crossroads in West Texas, established near the reliable waters of Pecos Spring. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of Twomile Draw and Sheffield Draw as they converge toward the Pecos River. The grid of the settlement is clearly visible, featuring local thoroughfares like Pine St and Southern St, while the Sheffield Cem lies just to the northwest.

Beyond the residential center, the map reveals a rugged ranching and industrial economy. Numerous named water-pumping landmarks, such as the Banner Trap Windmill and Cripple Goose Windmill, are scattered across the terrain to support livestock. To the northeast, the Halff Oil Field marks the presence of the region's energy sector, while natural features like Squaw Peak and Musk Hog Canyon dominate the topography east of the river.
