1970 Map of East Hunter Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in west Texas, where 1970s land use centered on ranching and resource exploration. Scattered livestock operations like Gentry Ranch and Krouse are positioned near seasonal water sources, including the Sacaton Draw and Hunter Canyon. The presence of numerous engineered water features such as No 4 Tank, Alto Tank, and Buckhorn Tank underscores the critical importance of water management for cattle in this arid terrain. Prospecting and extraction are evident through several named Mine and Prospects sites, along with a Gravel Pit near Clayton Draw. These features, alongside landmarks like Powder Bluff and Seven Heart Gap, illustrate a rugged environment where survival and industry depended entirely on navigating the natural canyons and the rare availability of water.
