2010 Map of Tucker Hill

About this map

Water management and topography define this corner of Pecos County, where the landscape is marked by a network of essential ranching infrastructure. Tucker Hill and Hayter Hill rise as prominent terrain features above the surrounding flats, while drainage patterns are established by seasonal watercourses like Hackberry Draw and Schoolhouse Draw. The map reveals a high density of named windmills, which serve as vital landmarks and survival points in this arid region. These include the Metzger Windmill, Middle Windmill, and Section Three Windmill to the north, as well as the Riggs Windmill, Red Windmill, York Windmill, and Estate Windmill further south. The presence of these named water-pumping sites suggests established grazing territories and long-standing ranching operations. Modern transportation is represented by the Interstate crossing the center of the quadrangle, intersecting local routes such as Mendel Rd and Tinker Rd.
