1967 Map of Horsehead Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Independence Creek winds through the heart of this Terrell County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for an intricate network of deep-cut canyons. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a series of prominent landforms including Bearfoot Canyon, Surveyor Canyon, and Horsehead Canyon, reflecting the arid geography of the Trans-Pecos. This era of land use is defined by energy infrastructure and water management, evidenced by multiple Pipeline corridors crossing the draws and a Pumping Sta located near Mitchell Draw. The map also captures the extent of local resource extraction, marking specific locations for Gas Wells, an Oil Well, and a Drill Hole. These features illustrate the industrial footprint on this remote Texas ranchland before modern expansions, offering a look at the essential connection between water sources and mineral development.
