What the Pecos
River does; it does well. It separates vast expanses with its meandering
course and seven counties use the river to mark their boundaries.
It allows one to differentiate between Loving County and
Reeves County, Ward from Reeves, Pecos County
from Crane, Crockett from Pecos, and Crockett from
Terrell County. This may not seem important to West Texas
visitors, but take our word for it - it matters to the tax assessors.

Unfortunately,
the confluence of the Pecos and Rio Grande is now
under water. The creation of Lake Amistad means that the
shoreline of the lake extends up the river valley over 10 miles.

The
Pecos at the Reeves / Ward County Line
West
Texas Photographer Charlene Beatty Beauchamp, accompanied by
Denise Doud risked life and limb to supply these photos from
the Ward / Reeves County Line.
As you can see in the photos, the Pecos at this point is a fragile
stream. The photo is taken on highway 18 - just West of Grandfalls.

Our other photos
of the Pecos come from Fiddle Blue, who caught the Pecos
outside of Sheffield,
Iraan and
McCamey.
Fiddle, who traverses West Texas by motorcycle, also supplies photos
of historic Castle Gap.
