1973 Map of Harkell Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Pecos River carves a sharp, deep bend through the limestone plateaus of Val Verde County in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where Harkell Canyon, Goat Canyon, and Moose Canyon cut narrow paths toward the river. Human presence is sparse and functional, represented by a single Grave on a high ridge and scattered evidence of resource extraction including a Prospect and several Quarries. Transportation is limited to a rugged Jeep Trail that navigates the difficult topography. This map reveals the era's reliance on isolated infrastructure in the West Texas borderlands, marking small but vital water sources like a Well and a Tank that supported the local ranching or mining efforts of the time.
