1980 Map of Hovey SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Musquiz Creek winds through the Trans-Pecos landscape of West Texas, anchoring a region defined by its ranching infrastructure and remote transportation corridors. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the northern terrain, serving as the primary industrial link through these high-desert plains. This map reveals a reliance on scattered water sources essential for cattle and local operations, including U-Bar Tank and various nameless catchments. Human activity in this arid environment is localized around functional sites like the Humble Well, a Gravel Pit, and a remote Landing Strip. The presence of the Pecos and Brewster county line and drainage features such as Antelope Draw and Hatch Canyon Draw illustrate the natural and political boundaries that shaped land use in this late twentieth-century cattle country.
