1970 Map of Barrilla Draw South

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Hoefs Ranch and a sparse network of ranching infrastructure define this arid Reeves County landscape as it was surveyed in 1970. The terrain is dominated by the course of Barrilla Draw, which cuts through the region and likely served as the primary drainage and orientation point for early settlers and ranchers. Water management is the central theme of this map, evidenced by the numerous named water sources essential for livestock in West Texas. Specifically, the map identifies private improvements such as Bacotes Windmill, Hugh Moore Windmill, and Sanders Windmill. The presence of Hoefs Road provides the primary transit artery through the area, linking remote outposts like Orchard Windmill and the Old Well Windmill to the wider region. This survey captures a moment in the pastoral history of the Trans-Pecos, where land use was inextricably tied to the locations of wells and intermittent draws.
