1929 Map of Hovey

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Hovey and Chancellor anchor this 1929 reconnaissance of the high Trans-Pecos country, where the A. T. & S. F. RR. Orient line cuts diagonally across a landscape of draws and mesas. The map documents a critical transition in western transit, showing the Old Spanish Trail and the Old highway alongside the developing State Highway. Ranching and water access are central to the settlement pattern, noted by features like the Williams (Deep well) and the lone Tank near the rail line. To the west, the foothills of the Davis Mts rise above Limpia Creek, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the complex topography of Sierra Madera and Arbuckle Cave Mesa. This sheet serves as an essential record of early 20th-century West Texas infrastructure before the modern highway system fully bypassed these rail-stop communities.
