1970 Map of Barstow 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Barrilla Draw defines the drainage pattern of this arid landscape in Reeves County, carving a path through the terrain as it trends toward the northeast. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a ranching economy reliant on scattered water sources, evidenced by the numerous named windmills that punctuate the plains. Family-named landmarks like Bacotes Windmill, Hugh Moore Windmill, and West Sanders Windmill provide critical geographic markers for local history and genealogy. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the Hoefs Ranch in the southwest corner, which is served by Hoefs Road. The map documents a specific era of West Texas land use, where the distribution of Old Well Windmill and Orchard Windmill illustrates the essential infrastructure required to sustain livestock and life in this desert environment.
