About this map

The arid Pecos County landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and water management features, dominated by the long north-south route of highway 385. The topography is marked by significant ephemeral watercourses, including Belding Draw in the northwest and Sixshooter Draw in the southeast, which illustrate the natural watershed of this high desert terrain. Local ranching or livestock infrastructure is evidenced by specifically named water catchments like West Tank and Corner Tank, which are vital landmarks in an otherwise sparse environment. The presence of Esca Lera Rd provides one of the few named access points into the undulating terrain, where elevation contours reveal a series of ridges and basins typical of this part of West Texas.
