1923 Map of Hess Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1923

About this map

The Glass Mountains dominate this West Texas landscape, where deep drainages like Hess Canyon and Burnt House Canyon cut through the high terrain. Surveyed in the early 1920s, the map reveals an extensive network of remote cattle ranches and homesteads scattered across the high desert flats and foothills of Brewster and Pecos counties. Named places like the Old Oscar Nance Place and Old Ward Ranch reflect a pattern of settlement and land use tied to these isolated water sources and canyon sheltered areas.
