About this map

The Carrizo Mountains and Beach Mountains dominate this arid West Texas landscape along the Hudspeth and Culberson County line. The Texas and Pacific corridor serves as the primary artery through the high desert, connecting the settlement of Allamoore with surrounding ranchlands. Industrial activity is evident through numerous Gravel Pits, a Crusher, and scattered Prospects that indicate the mineral interests of the era.

Water sources are vital markers in this environment, including the Carrizo Spring Windmill and West Windmill. The map tracks several family-named locations such as Sammons Ranch and Mann Ranch, alongside notable high points like Hackett Peak and Carrizo Peak. This documentation captures the character of the Trans-Pecos region during a period of steady ranching and transport operations before modern interstate expansion fully altered the traditional travel routes.
