1969 Map of Continental Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Continental Ranch and Riggs Ranch anchor this landscape of the Texas Trans-Pecos, where the drainage systems of Big Canyon and McKay Creek have carved deep into the limestone plateau. The map, based on late 1960s aerial photography, reveals a remote ranching economy defined by isolated outposts and topographical landmarks like Prosser and Schaugr. The presence of a dedicated Landing Strip near the primary ranch complex underscores the immense distances and logistical challenges inherent to this part of Terrell County. Settlement patterns are sparse, with intermittent water sources and the occasional Well serving as critical infrastructure for the local livestock operations. Fine dashed lines throughout the quadrangle indicate selected fence lines, tracing property boundaries across the complex network of draws and plateaus.
