About this map

Baggett Ranch and the small station at Judge anchor this landscape in Crockett County during the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of arroyos and canyons, including Johnson Draw, Live Oak Draw, and the deep incisions of Bert Mertz Canyon and Baggett Draw. These natural drainage patterns dictate the placement of ranching outposts and infrastructure in this arid environment.

Industrial activity is prominent across the sheet, specifically within the extensive Gas and Oil Field. The map records a high density of Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and several Drill Holes, connected by a major north-south Pipeline. This infrastructure, alongside various scattered Gravel Pits and a strategically placed Water Tank, illustrates the mid-century intersection of traditional Texas ranching and the intensive extraction of petroleum resources.
