About this map

Hagelstein Ranch and Harrell Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape, showing the distribution of private landholdings in Crockett County during the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of dry washes and canyons, including Harrell Canyon and Big Indian Canyon, which drain into larger features like Johnson Draw and Baggett Draw.

Strategic water management is evident through the placement of the Sulphur Trap Windmill and West Divide Windmill, critical infrastructure for livestock in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of unimproved roads and fence lines that follow the natural contours of Bert Mertz Canyon and Anderson Draw. Several small Gravel Pit sites suggest localized resource extraction to support the maintenance of these remote ranch roads.
