1970 Map of Big Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The arid ranchlands of Reeves County are defined here by a network of water tanks and windmills essential for livestock in the high desert. Scattered throughout the landscape, family-named landmarks like McIlvain Draw and Johnson Hill provide orientation in the vast terrain south of the Pecos River valley. The dependence on managed water is evident in the prevalence of features like McIlvain Tank, Mare Tank, and Langham Tank, which capture infrequent runoff in an area where permanent surface water is scarce.
