1983 Map of Beckwith Hills

About this map

Peña Colorado Creek flows through this corner of the Trans-Pecos, a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and the tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad. The map documents a sparse but vital network of water sources necessary for desert survival, including named windmills like the Negley Trap Windmill and Skinner Windmill, alongside scattered holdings such as the Arnold Ranch. Near the small rail siding of Lenox, the topography rises into the Payne Hills and Beckwith Hills, where deep drainages like Alsate Canyon and Little Road Canyon cut through the limestone terrain.
