1980 Map of Geddis Canyon NW

About this map

Dry Creek snakes through the heart of this Terrell County landscape, carving a deep valley through the high desert terrain. The 1980 survey reveals a quiet but industrial corner of West Texas, defined largely by energy extraction and infrastructure rather than dense settlement. Multiple Gas Wells and an Oil Well are scattered across the southern and eastern reaches, connected by a network of pipelines that traverse the ridges and canyons. The presence of a remote Landing Strip near the creek's lower bend underscores the isolation of this region, where air travel and specialized industry equipment were essential for operations. Local landmarks like Scott and a small Gravel Pit near the southern boundary provide specific reference points for researchers studying the land use and resource management of the Trans-Pecos during the late twentieth century.
