1973 Map of Beenham

About this map

Beenham sits within a landscape defined by the deep incision of Tramperos Canyon in the northeast corner of Union County. This early 1970s survey documents a sparsely settled ranching region where water sources like Tramperos Creek, Bushnell Creek, and Bueyeros Creek dictate the placement of local infrastructure. Evidence of early habitation is sparse but significant, marked by isolated points of interest such as a Spring near the settlement and several lone grave sites scattered across the sections. The topography is characterized by a series of mesas and drainage systems that converge toward the canyon floor, illustrating the geographic isolation of this High Plains environment before modern development shifted the local character.
