Historical Marker

Sediments shed from the mountains to the west formed the Llano Estacado, later bypassed by streams such as the Pecos and Canadian Rivers and standing in bold relief with a relatively level, uneroded caprock surface. Plains croplands are irrigated using "fossil" water from underground aquifers.
