1969 Map of Dryden NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Texas sheep and cattle ranching country in the late 1960s is defined here by wide, winding drainage systems and isolated homesteads. The landscape is carved by the deep path of Meyers Canyon and the broad expanses of Downie Draw and Eightmile Draw, which serve as the primary topographical markers in this part of Terrell County. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the essential infrastructure of arid-land ranching, specifically noting the James Ranch, Kerr Ranch, and Bell Ranch. The distribution of these family-named holdings alongside features like the Water Tank illustrates the reliance on specific water sources and the vast distances between neighbors. A single primary highway cuts through the eastern portion of the map, providing a solitary link between these dispersed ranching operations and the larger region.
