2012 Map of Sierra Madera NE

About this map

Lemon Windmill Number One and a network of widely scattered water sources define the ranching landscape of Pecos County on the edge of the Trans-Pecos region. This 2012 survey reveals the essential infrastructure of West Texas land management, where named landmarks like Twenty Foot Windmill and Sixshooter Windmill serve as both vital utilities and navigational anchors in a terrain of subtle elevation changes. The land is drained by ephemeral features such as Number Four Draw, which channels occasional runoff through the scrub. Prominent rises like Round Mtn provide the few topographical breaks in an otherwise open range. The map captures the continued importance of historical named sites, including Kelly Wade Windmill and Lemonds New Windmill, illustrating the generational layers of cattle ranching and water rights that persist into the 21st century.
