1970 Map of Florenzo Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Florenzo Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this Reeves County landscape, surveyed in the late 1960s to record the complex hydrological features of the West Texas desert. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels, including Billingslea Draw, Sotol Draw, and Ninemile Draw, which reveal the path of seasonal runoff across the arid plains. Human intervention in this water-scarce environment is visible through a system of distributed resource management, notably the Aqueduct and scattered infrastructure like Sparks Windmill and Jones Well. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pit locations, while the presence of a Pipeline cutting across the draws highlights the region's role in resource transport. This map provides a clear record of the specific wells and springs, such as Ninemile Spring, that were critical for ranching and survival in the Chihuahuan Desert during this era.
