2022 Map of Skyscraper Peak

About this map

Skyscraper Peak and Big Baldy Peak dominate the high ground in this arid reach of West Texas, anchoring a landscape of prominent mesas and deep draws. The northern terrain is defined by the flat-topped Big Mesa and Little Mesa, while the ephemeral Tunas Cr cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle. This area of Pecos County is primarily remote ranchland, evidenced by the limited road network which includes Trans Pecos Rd and 110 Svc Rd. To the south, McKenzie Mesa stands above the drainage of Harral Draw, illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of the Trans-Pecos region. The presence of named summits like Darrels Peak suggests a landscape where high points serve as essential landmarks for navigation across the basin and range geography.
