1983 Map of Buck Hill

About this map

Green Valley dominates the northern reaches of this Big Bend-area landscape, a region defined by arid basins and isolated peaks during the 1970s. The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of the valley into the elevations of Buck Hill and Butcherknife Hill, where water management is critical to ranching operations. Numerous water features, including Butcherknife Tank, Broken Tank, and an unnamed Drill Hole, indicate the infrastructure required to sustain life in this Brewster County environment.
