Horsehead Crossing
Ford in Pecos County, Texas
Horsehead Crossing is a ford on the Pecos River in Crane County, south of Odessa, Texas.[1] Historically, it was a major landmark on the trail west as one of a few fordable sections of the Pecos in West Texas, and as the first reliable source of water for about 75 miles on the route from the east.[2]
The location as marked by a state historical marker is 31°14' N, 102°29' W, though debate exists as to possible alternate locations in that area.[3][4] U.S. Geological Survey locates it at 31°14′08″N 102°29′02″W.[5]
