1963 Map of Adams NW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Scattered cattle and sheep operations define the high-plateau character of this West Texas landscape during the early 1960s. The region is marked by a network of family-owned ranching estates, including White Ranch, Brown Ranch, and Robinson Ranch, which are situated along the intermittent drainages of the Edwards Plateau. Natural water management is dictated by the rugged topography of South Concho Draw and Milligan Draw, where seasonal runoff eventually feeds larger systems. The map captures an era of infrastructure development in Schleicher County, evidenced by a prominent Pipeline and several industrial Pit and Gravel Pit locations. These features, alongside the Ewing Ranch and Burrus Ranch, suggest a balance between traditional pastoral life and the expanding energy and material extraction industries of the mid-twentieth century. Further south, the terrain descends toward North Valley and Live Oak Hollow, illustrating the typical arroyo and draw systems of the Concho River watershed.
