2016 Map of Twelvemile Mesa

About this map

Twelvemile Mesa stands as a prominent elevation in this Trans-Pecos landscape, marking a significant topographic rise south of the developing outskirts of Fort Stockton. The terrain transition is sharp, moving from the flat drainage of Comanche Cr Reservoir in the northeast to the high ground of Fivemile Hill. The map documents a residential pattern of ranchettes and long-lot subdivisions, particularly evident along Alamo Rd, W Alamo Rd, and the grid of streets including N Travis St and N Austin. This spatial organization reflects the late 20th and early 21st-century expansion of rural living in Pecos County, where historical transportation corridors like the Old Alpine Hwy now serve as the primary arteries connecting these isolated homesteads and private roads to the larger region.
