1970 Map of Deep Well Ranch NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Deep ephemeral drainages carve the Trans-Pecos landscape on the boundary between Reeves and Pecos Counties. The terrain is defined by the convergence of Barrilla Draw, Lawrence Draw, and Schoolhouse Draw, indicating a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and livestock ranching. Water management is a central feature of the local economy, evidenced by a network of isolated water sources including the Eclipse Windmill, Chapo Windmill, and Barrilla Windmill. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the Graef Ranch and Hayter Ranch. Infrastructure at this time consists largely of unimproved roads like Hoefs Road and Hovey Road, supporting scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit near the intersection of highway 290. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching and emerging energy extraction coexisted in this arid reach of West Texas.
