1968 Map of Cap Rock Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Skevington Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in the late 1960s, a period when remote West Texas ranching relied on essential water infrastructure like the Red Windmill and various unnamed water tanks. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the level expanse of the W B Flats to the prominent rising profile of Cap Rock Butte. Natural drainage patterns like Big Canyon, Red Mill Draw, and Downie Draw carve through the plateau, illustrating the erosive forces at work in this arid environment. A solitary Landing Strip near the ranch underscores the vast distances of the region, while the boundary between Pecos and Brewster counties runs across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a precise reference for local land records and property history.
