About this map

Bachelor Hill rises above a landscape defined by deep draws and ranching infrastructure in this mid-century Crockett County survey. The terrain is marked by the winding paths of Mailbox Draw and Escondido Draw, which lead toward the vital Escondido Water Hole. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Graves in the southern portion of the quadrangle provides a specific point of interest for family research.

The map reveals the industrial and agricultural utility of the land during the late 1960s, featuring multiple Gravel Pit locations, a Gas Well, and several Drill Hole sites. Life in this arid region is further evidenced by isolated landmarks such as the Four Corner Windmill and Escondido Windmill, as well as named sites like University and Longhorn, which represent the scattered human presence across this high-plateau environment.
