2016 Map of Sherbino Mesa

About this map

Sherbino Mesa and McKenzie Mesa dominate this West Texas landscape, where the plateau surfaces are cut by deep drainage systems. These elevated landforms, characteristic of Pecos County, rise sharply above the surrounding desert floor. The intricate contour patterns reveal the erosional forces that have shaped the region over millennia, creating a network of dry washes and seasonal watercourses. Fourmile Draw and Harral Draw provide the primary pathways for intermittent runoff, carving significant depressions through the arid terrain. While the map is largely defined by these natural features, the sparse network of local roads and connectors reflects the isolation and cattle-ranching heritage of this high-plains environment during the mid-2010s.
