1978 Map of Buckhorn Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mount Mc Elroy dominates this 1970s landscape, featuring a modern Radio Facility amidst a network of canyons and high peaks in Jeff Davis County. The map documents the enduring infrastructure of West Texas ranching, highlighting the K C Ranch, 03 Ranch, and Shelbarger Ranch, along with numerous water sources vital for livestock in this environment. Cattle-dependent features like Leonard Camp Windmill, Gomez Windmill, and Sierra Windmill are scattered throughout the draws, linked by a system of jeep trails and pack trails. The presence of several named springs, such as Dipping Vat Spring and Shelbarger Spring, underscores the critical importance of water management in this high-altitude terrain. From the heights of Buckhorn Mountain and Indian Peak to the depths of Hell Canyon, the survey provides a detailed view of remote homesteads and topographical landmarks as they appeared decades ago.
