1968 Map of Dimple Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

W B Flats dominates the northern horizon of this West Texas landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the distinct elevations of the Dimple Hills and Sugar Loaf Mountain. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map illustrates a remote ranching economy dependent on scattered water sources like Gurley Windmill and Peters Windmill. The isolation of the region is underscored by the Pecos and Brewster County line, which cuts diagonally across the terrain with few signs of human development beyond the League Ranch and a lone Corral. Natural drainage patterns define the geography, with the winding paths of Big Canyon, Eighty Draw, and Red Mill Draw carving through the arid flats. This topographic study captures a specific moment in the land management of the Trans-Pecos, documenting the vital infrastructure of tanks and windmills that sustained life in this expansive territory.
