1979 Map of Buckhorn Draw East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Buckhorn Draw defines this arid landscape in Hudspeth County, where the topography is shaped by ephemeral water management and isolated resource extraction. The 1970s cattle and ranching culture is evidenced by a network of named stock tanks and water features, including Number 8 Tank, Moccasin Tank, and Tony Tank No 2. These points of reliability were essential for survival in the high desert of West Texas. Industrial activity and infrastructure are limited but distinct, with Gravel Pits and a long Pipeline cutting across the terrain. For aviators navigating this remote stretch, a lone Landing Strip provides a point of reference among the contours of the draws and flats. The map reflects a period of modern survey by the Texas Department of Water Resources and the USGS, capturing the ranching infrastructure at its late-20th-century peak.
