1951 Map of Dell City
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
The Salt Basin landscape of West Texas is defined by the massive white expanse of the Dry Salt Lake and scattered Salt Ponds, illustrating a high-desert environment where water is the primary driver of human activity. Settlement in the early 1950s is sparse, centered on Dell City and a network of remote family cattle operations including the List Ranch, Lynch Ranch, and TC Ranch. This era shows a community reliant on groundwater, evidenced by a high density of named water features like Hillbilly Windmill, Rigsby Windmill, and Eightmile Tank.
