About this map

Industrial infrastructure and desert hydrology characterize this 1980 landscape in Pecos County. The Pikes Peak Gas Plant stands as a primary landmark in the southern portion of the quadrangle, connected to a prominent pipeline that traverses the terrain. This area, located between Fort Stockton and Marathon, reveals a reliance on groundwater and resource extraction. Named water features like Belding Draw and Sixshooter Draw cut through the topography, while numerous water sources such as the Puckett Windmill, Red Bed Well, and West Tank highlight the necessity of water management in this arid environment. Scattered drill holes and gravel pits further indicate the mid-20th-century development of the region's mineral and gas resources.
