1980 Map of Hovey NE

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the southeast corner of this West Texas landscape, tracing a path through the arid Pecos County terrain. This area is defined by its intermittent drainage systems, notably the Coyanosa Draw and Burnt House Creek, which highlight the importance of water management in this high-plains environment. A network of windmills, including the Headquarters Windmill, Webb Windmill, and Hackney Windmill, suggests a landscape organized around ranching and livestock, where reliable water sources were critical for operations. Evidence of industrial activity is present through scattered Drill Hole locations and a Pipeline crossing the northern section. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Musquiz Creek and Antelope Draw up toward the more complex topography to the north, providing a clear record of the region's ranching infrastructure and mineral exploration in the late twentieth century.
