1970 Map of Antone Canyon

About this map

Howard Draw dominates this West Texas landscape, serving as the central drainage for a network of canyons spanning the Crockett Co Val Verde Co line. The ranching economy of the late 1960s is evidenced by the density of water infrastructure, with numerous named wells such as Glisa Windmill, Cayetano Windmill, and House Canyon Windmill sustaining livestock across the arid terrain. Land use is divided between traditional ranching at Blakeney Ranch and Mitchell Ranch and emerging energy development, marked by several Gas Wells and a Pipeline cutting through the northern reaches.
