1964 Map of Devil Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Devil Ridge and Front Ridge dominate this arid landscape in Hudspeth County, where the topography transitions from the high, flat expanse of Yucca Mesa down through Echo Canyon into the expansive Red Light Draw. In the mid-1960s, this region remained a remote environment defined by isolated ranching infrastructure and historic pathways. The route of the Old Spanish Trail cuts across the basin, providing a clear view of the historical transportation corridors that navigated this desert terrain. Scattered water sources, critical for survival and livestock, include Old Dagger Tank, Cummins Windmill, and Hayter Well. Evidence of human presence is sparse but specific, marked by the Old Patterson Place and a small Gravel Pit near the northern boundary, illustrating the modest scale of settlement and industry in this corner of West Texas.
