1973 Map of Bitter Well Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Bitter Well Mountain anchors the eastern edge of this West Texas landscape, rising above a vast (Depression) that defines the central terrain. In the early 1970s, the area’s ranching and livestock infrastructure centered on distributed water sources, including the Bitter Well Tank, Coyote Tank, and scattered wells such as Wimberley Well and West Windmill. The topography is marked by deep cuts like Hogue Canyon and Cox Canyon, which drain the mountain's flanks. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the arid basin, signaling the region’s industrial connectivity amidst the isolated windmills and tanks. For researchers, these named wells—including Sixmile Well and Sand Well—often indicate historical ranch boundaries and early settlement hubs in Culberson County.
