1970 Map of East Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Guayule Mountain and the broad plateau of East Mesa dominate this landscape, illustrating the water-dependent ranching and resource extraction economy of West Texas in the early 1970s. The presence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad in the northwest corner, alongside a complex network of ranch roads and a prominent Pipeline, suggests an area defined by transport and transit. This survey records the vital water infrastructure necessary for survival in Pecos County, mapping numerous named wells and windmills such as Old Headquarters Windmill, Partnership Windmill, and West Pasture Windmill. Land ownership and local ranching history are grounded in labels for McKenzie Ranch and Fourteenmile Park. Industrial footprints are also visible through several Oil Wells, Drill Hole locations, and Gravel Pits scattered across the flats.
