1973 Map of Apache Peak

About this map

The Sierra Diablo Rim dominates this high-altitude terrain, where the Hudspeth and Culberson County line cuts through a landscape defined by deep canyons and remote ranching operations. In the early 1970s, the area's geography was largely centered around water access and livestock management, evidenced by features like Roberts Well, New Tank, and the lone Puett Ranch. Transport in this difficult environment relied on a network of Jeep Trails and the isolated Witherspoon Landing Strip, highlighting the distance between this region and established Texas infrastructure.
