1978 Map of El Muerto Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

El Muerto Peak rises over a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and seasonal water sources in this high-desert region of West Texas. The importance of groundwater for livestock is evident through the numerous windmills and tanks distributed across the terrain, including Yates Windmill, the Cracker Jack Windmill, and the Old House Windmill near the Moore Ranch. Historically significant water points like El Muerto Spring (Dead Mans Hole) and drainage systems such as Red Slough and Moore Slough reflect the necessity of managing natural resources in this arid environment.
