1925 Map of Buck Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The high-desert terrain of Brewster County is defined here by the confluence of drainage systems and isolated cattle-ranching outposts. Elephant Mtn and the massive Mitchell Mesa overlook a landscape where water sources dictated settlement patterns during the early twentieth century. Important stopping points and homesteads such as the Kokernot Ranch, Sid Place, and Wilsons Ranch are situated near vital water features like Calamity Creek and Duff Springs. The map reveals a transition in land use, noting Low Place (Abandoned) while highlighting the critical role of mechanical water extraction through features like Brush Windmill and Cobas Windmill. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the War Department, meticulously tracks the dry washes and draws that connect the southern Trans-Pecos region toward Terlingua.
