1980 Map of Cave Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Trans-Pecos region is captured here, specifically where the Pecos and Brewster County line cuts through the landscape. This 1980 survey reveals a network of water resources vital to West Texas ranching, including the Rooney Tank, Witcher Tank, and several isolated Water Tanks. The topography is dominated by massive flat-topped formations like Cave Mesa, Pine Mesa, and Panther Mesa, alongside the prominent North Mountain. Drainage patterns are defined by the seasonal flow of Burnt House Creek, which winds through the southern portions of the quadrangle. Occasional markers such as a Drill Hole or Well indicate the sparse but deliberate human activity across these high elevations, where the land use was primarily focused on livestock and resource exploration.
