1978 Map of Echo Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Encantada Peak and Round Mountain anchor a high-desert landscape defined by deep drainages and isolated ranching infrastructure. The network of water sources is critical to the local economy, shown through numerous named features such as Patterson Spring Windmill, Hawthicket Spring, and the Middle Rock House Tank. These landmarks, along with many others like the Point of Rocks Windmill and Adobe Wells, illustrate the essential role of water management in West Texas. Historical ranching operations are prominent, with the J D Ranch, Long X Ranch, and Ikins Ranch situated across the terrain. Movement through the area is facilitated by primitive routes, including several labeled Jeep Trails, which navigate between the steep walls of Echo Canyon and the broad Adobe Draw. The map also identifies industrial footprints like the Gravel Pit near the northern boundary, providing a detailed view of the 1970s land use in Jeff Davis County.
