1970 Map of Deep Well Ranch

About this map

The high-desert landscape of West Texas is defined by its intermittent drainage systems and isolated ranching outposts in this 1970 study. The topography is dominated by the prominent peak known as The Monument, while the surrounding terrain is etched by the courses of Barrilla Draw, Lawrence Draw, and Addison Draw. These dry washes indicate a landscape where water management was the primary concern for local operations like Deep Well Ranch and Stone Ranch. Evidence of the area's infrastructure for early aviation and ranching is visible through the inclusion of Landing Strips and the Dutch Windmill. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Reeves Co Pecos Co, providing a clear record of land division in this arid region. For those researching local genealogy, a lone Grave is marked near the center of the quadrangle along the banks of the Barrilla.
