2022 Map of Tucker Hill

About this map

The boundary between Reeves and Pecos counties cuts through this high desert terrain, dominated by prominent elevations and seasonal drainage channels. Tucker Hill and Hayter Hill serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise sparse landscape characterized by wide basins and dry watercourses. The drainage patterns of Schoolhouse Draw and Hackberry Draw provide a clear view of the natural topography that influenced early ranching and travel routes in West Texas. Modern infrastructure is represented by the corridor of Interstate 10 and the I10 Svc Rd, while rural access is maintained through local thoroughfares such as Tinkler Rd and Hovey Rd. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the isolation and scale of the Trans-Pecos region, where family-named landmarks like Mendel Rd signify the enduring presence of local landholders.
