1985 Map of Dell City

About this map

Dell City and the surrounding high desert of Far West Texas are defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage draws and massive mountain ranges in this mid-1980s study. The landscape transitions from the peaks of the Cornudas Mountains and the Sierra Tinaja Pinta into the wide expanse of the Salt Basin. This low-lying area features Linda Lake, Salt Lake, and the Alkalai Lakes, marking a region where water management is critical, as evidenced by the numerous tanks such as Crowley Tank and Bead Tank scattered across the arid terrain.
