About this map

Sheffield occupies a strategic position near the triple junction of Pecos, Crockett, and Terrell counties, where the high desert plateau begins its descent toward the water. This 2023 survey illustrates the local layout of the settlement, specifically identifying Pine St, Garrett St, and 2nd St. The town is flanked by a series of intermittent watercourses, including the prominent Sheffield Draw and Harkey Draw to the south, which drain the surrounding mesas toward the Pecos River.

To the northeast of the town site, the Sheffield Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians. The landscape is defined by its verticality, rising to the distinct Pecos Peak and dropping into the curiously named Musk Hog Canyon. The proximity of Pecos Spring to the river highlights the vital water sources that have historically dictated human activity and ranching in this arid Pecos County corridor.
