2016 Map of Skyscraper Peak

About this map

Skyscraper Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of Pecos County, rising amidst a series of distinct topographic formations. The landscape is defined by elevated mesas and isolated summits, including the notable Big Baldy Peak and Darrels Peak. To the east, the terrain levels out somewhat across McKenzie Mesa, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the massive Big Mesa and its smaller neighbor, Little Mesa. This 2016 survey illustrates a sparse infrastructure typical of West Texas, where drainage patterns like Tunas Cr and Harral Draw dictate the flow of seasonal water. Modern transport is represented by the Trans Pecos Rd and the service corridor for the interstate, marked here as 10 Svc Rd, showing how contemporary transit routes cut through this ancient, arid topography.
