1978 Map of Capote Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The high desert peaks and canyon lands of the Sierra Vieja define this West Texas landscape, dominated by the prominent summit of Capote Peak. This 1970s survey captures a working ranching environment where water and aviation are critical to survival and industry. Ranching outposts such as Rancho Cielo and Brite Ranch are linked by a network of unimproved roads and a Landing Strip, while water sources like Trough Canyon Spring, Hoya Tank, and Cruz Tank appear across the arid terrain. Natural drainage is marked by the deep cut of Capote Creek and the expanse of the Cienega Basin. Evidence of resource exploration is visible through landmarks like the Lucky Strike Well and the Oil Well Windmill, illustrating the intersection of traditional cattle ranching and geological prospecting in Presidio County.
