About this map

Salado Creek winds through this arid section of the High Plains, carving a landscape defined by intermittent water sources and isolated livestock operations. The map illustrates a mid-century ranching economy where survival depended on scattered infrastructure like the North Salado Windmill, High Lonesome Windmill, and Gillum Windmill. These essential water-pumping landmarks, alongside the Water Tank, served as the focal points for local land management. The presence of the Good Ranch and Overton Ranch indicates the sparse but established settlement patterns across the Guadalupe Co De Baca Co line. A designated Landing Area near the center of the sheet reflects the era's reliance on small aircraft for navigating these expansive western distances, while the elevation at Tyne provides a clear perspective of the surrounding terrain.
