1980 Map of Geddis Canyon West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Big Canyon carves a deep path across this corner of Terrell County, illustrating the arid, dissected plateau landscape of West Texas as it appeared in the 1970s. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of Geddis Canyon and its southern fork, South Geddis Canyon, where steep-walled ravines dictate the movement of both water and people. Human infrastructure is sparse and strictly utilitarian, consisting primarily of a Jeep Trail that follows the natural contours of the high ground and a single Gravel Pit located near the canyon floor. These features, along with scattered water tanks and wells, reflect a landscape dedicated to large-scale ranching and resource extraction, where every named point on the map serves a specific functional purpose for navigating the terrain.
