1941 Map of Feely

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The high, dissected plateau of Precinct 5 dominates this landscape, where the Rio Grande carves a deep boundary between the United States and Mexico. The early 1940s aerial photography reveals a ranching economy defined by vast family-held properties and rugged topography, with Comstock serving as the primary hub along the Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific) railroad. The mapping captures the era's critical transportation corridor, tracing the path of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway as it cuts across a network of seasonal watercourses like Cow Creek and Evans Creek. Scattered throughout this arid terrain are numerous homesteads, from the Zuberbueler Ranch in the west to the Sellars Ranch in the east, providing a clear genealogical record of the families who inhabited the Pecos River borderlands before modern development altered the region's character.
