About this map

Longfellow Rd cuts across the arid landscape of Pecos County, serving as the primary corridor through this ranching territory. The distribution of water sources across the terrain reveals the necessity of managed resources in this part of West Texas, where life and livestock revolve around scattered improvements. Named infrastructure like the Lemon Windmill and Lemon Tank indicate family or landholding names associated with the region's agricultural history. Other features, including Tally Taylor Tank, Bill Taylor Tank, and Mitchell Tank, further map the network of private reservoirs and watering holes that define the rural economy. In the southeastern corner, the presence of the Number Nine Tank suggests a numbered system of land management, documenting the functional landscape of modern Pecos County ranching operations.
