1963 Map of Adams SE

About this map

North Valley and Middle Valley dominate this West Texas landscape, where life centered on the vital presence of waterholes and large-scale ranching operations. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems like Bull Hollow and the North Valley's prong, which are punctuated by essential desert water sources including Eighteenmile Waterhole, Hurricane Bluff Waterhole, and Twelvemile Waterhole. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the 1960s cattle economy, detailing several family-named properties such as the Henderson Ranch, Rocking R Ranch, and the Figure 3 Ranch. The presence of several Pits and Gravel Pits alongside modern pipelines suggests the early industrial intersections of ranching and resource extraction in Schleicher County during this period.
