2012 Map of Skyscraper Peak

About this map

Skyscraper Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of Pecos County, characterized by a series of mesas and isolated peaks. The map details a landscape where industrial infrastructure and remote ranching coexist, notably at the Jasper Gas Plant and the nearby Escondido Ranch. To the south, Trans-Pecos Ranch sits among the drainage patterns that feed into the ephemeral Tunas Cr, which winds across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations including Big Baldy Peak, Darrels Peak, and a trio of mesas—Big Mesa, Little Mesa, and McKenzie Mesa—that define the local topography. This early 21st-century survey captures the sparse settlement and energy-sector footprint typical of this part of West Texas.
