1968 Map of F C Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The F C Ranch serves as a focal point for this arid West Texas landscape, where life revolves around water management and aviation in a region of significant elevation changes. Situated within the Wildcat Mountains, the terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems including Big Canyon, Downie Draw, and Pyle Draw. The map reveals a specialized cattle ranching infrastructure from the late 1960s, evidenced by a network of earthen tanks and wells such as Chicken Tank, Steer Tank, and the Old Ranch Windmill. A remote Landing Strip and Radio Tower highlight the distances involved in managing such an expansive territory. The isolation of the Pecos County rangeland is further marked by the absence of major towns, focusing instead on landmarks like Lewis Well and the industrial activity at a Gravel Pit near Jimmy Tank.
