1979 Map of Buckhorn Draw West

About this map

Buckhorn Draw carves through this arid corner of West Texas, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and high-altitude ranching. This 1970s survey captures a sparse but critical network of water management features, including Panther Tanks, Tony Tank No 1, and Pescado Tank, which supported livestock in a region where surface water is a rare commodity. The map shows the infrastructure of the late twentieth century, with a large Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches and a Gravel Pit near the highway, indicating the local industrial activity and resource extraction of the era.
