1973 Map of Hopper Draw East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Arid grazing and resource extraction lands define this West Texas landscape, mapped by photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken in 1972. The survival of industry and livestock in this dry terrain is marked by essential water infrastructure, including West Well, Corner Well, and the prominent Axtell Windmill. These isolated points of reliability are connected by an extensive Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches, while the natural drainage is defined by seasonal watercourses like Hart Draw, Hopper Draw, and Hurds Pass Draw. The presence of several Drill Hole locations suggests active subsurface exploration during the early 1970s. Topographic relief is most pronounced in the southwestern corner, contrasting with the flatter areas surrounding the label Toy and the various tanks and wells that served as the lifeblood for local ranching operations in Culberson County.
