1963 Map of China Lake NE

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Pecos River serves as the primary geographical boundary on this 1963 survey, dividing Reeves Co and Ward Co in a landscape dominated by arid water management and resource extraction. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of pipelines and an aqueduct that crisscross the terrain, reflecting the mid-century industrial development of West Texas. Settlement traces are sparse but significant for genealogy, notably Wills Cem located near the riverbank. Named water sources such as Lochaby Well and Smith Well punctuate the dry draws, while larger features like Monument Draw and Big Valley Draw define the local topography. The presence of Spencer Field and a Gravel Pit further illustrate the land use during this era of regional growth.
