2016 Map of Sierra Madera NW

About this map

Belding Draw and Sixshooter Draw dominate this portion of the Texas landscape, carving distinct drainage patterns through the arid terrain of Pecos County. The modern transport corridor of US Route 385 runs nearly vertical across the center of the sheet, providing a primary north-south artery through the open range. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by isolated ranching infrastructure such as West Tank and Corner Tank. The presence of Esca Lera Rd at the southern edge suggests the continued importance of local access roads for land management and resource extraction. This 2016 survey reflects a landscape defined by its topographic relief and the sparse but vital network of water tanks and roadways that support activity in this high-desert region.
