2022 Map of Sierra Madera SE

About this map

The Glass Mountains rise above a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and intermittent watercourses in this Pecos County region. This 2022 survey documents a network of named stock tanks, including Tally Taylor Tank, Bill Taylor Tank, and Mitchell Tank, which represent the essential water management for West Texas livestock operations. The terrain is marked by significant topographic drainage systems such as Number Four Draw and Nineteen Draw, where seasonal runoff has carved paths through the high desert. Access to this remote rangeland is primarily facilitated by Longfellow Rd, which traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a land use pattern typical of the Trans-Pecos, where large-scale landholdings are punctuated by these critical water points and family-named landmarks.
