1973 Map of Delaware Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Delaware Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Culberson County, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and draws. The map illustrates a region where water management was critical to ranching operations, as evidenced by numerous named water features like Goat Tank, St John Tank, and the naturally occurring Rock Water Hole. Significant drainage systems, including Maverick Canyon and Ed Ray Canyon, cut through the topography, channeling seasonal runoff toward Emory Draw and Frijole Draw. This 1970s survey captures the remote character of the Trans-Pecos, where a single Pipeline and a few rugged routes like the Jeep Trail represent the only modern infrastructure across the Cheatum uplands.
