1953 Map of Berry Sand Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Berry Sand Draw cuts through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems like Box Canyon and the confluence of numerous watercourses, including Coetas Creek and Chicken Creek. Human presence in this environment appears largely transitory or historical, marked by the Berry Ranch (Aband) and Wright Ranch (Aband). Industrial and military footprints are visible through the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line and the US Army Rifle Range (Aband). Small-scale resource extraction is evidenced by the Caliche Quarries near the southern boundary. The presence of Pretty Spring and other unnamed springs suggests the vital role of water sources in this dry terrain, which dictated the placement of these early ranching and military outposts.
