1964 Map of Eldorado NW

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Schleicher County ranchlands define this West Texas landscape, where large family holdings like Bearce Ranch and Meador Ranch occupy the high, dry plains. The map illustrates the region's mid-century transition into an energy-producing hub, centered on the Eldorado Gas Field and a network of pipelines that cut across the terrain. While the upland reaches are marked by scattered gas wells, the topography is carved by natural drainage systems such as Whitten Draw and Indian Draw, leading toward a deep Canyon in the southeast. This 1964 survey provides a specific record of land use, showing the exact placement of homesteads like Whitten Ranch and Page Ranch alongside industrial features like Gravel Pits and various drilling sites, documenting the coexistence of traditional cattle ranching and the burgeoning petroleum industry.
