1970 Map of Belding

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railroad cuts a straight diagonal through this high-desert landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Belding in West Texas. Situated south of Fort Stockton, this area is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Acebuche Draw and Belding Draw, which carve shallow paths through the arid terrain. The map captures a moment of industrial transition, where traditional ranching infrastructure like a Water Tank and numerous fences sits alongside modern extractive footprints, including a scattered network of Wells, Gas Wells, and Gravel Pits. A lone Landing Strip and a prominent Pipeline corridor further emphasize the region's role as a logistical and energy-producing hub during the early 1970s. The dense topographic contours on the western edge reveal the rising elevation of the foothills, providing a stark contrast to the flat, well-dotted plains of the Pecos County interior.
