1969 Map of Big Canyon Ranch NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Pecos Co Terrell Co boundary lines divide this remote West Texas landscape, where the seasonal drainage of McKay Creek and the deep cuts of Big Canyon dominate the topography. The map documents a sparse, high-plains ranching environment at the close of the 1960s, centered on the Word Ranch and Harkins Ranch. These isolated holdings are supported by a thin network of unimproved roads and essential livestock infrastructure, including a Corral and a designated Landing Area for light aircraft. An Indefinite Boundary and scattered elevation benchmarks like BM 3073 reflect the surveyor's efforts to chart this arid terrain where water sources, such as a solitary Well and a Gravel Pit, are the primary markers of human utility.
