1970 Map of Howards Well NE

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Government Canyon and its complex network of drainage draws define this segment of the West Texas landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region driven by large-scale ranching and petroleum extraction, with family-named holdings such as Montgomery Ranch, Pierce Ranch, and two separate operations for the Childress family: R Childress Ranch and W Childress Ranch. This ranching infrastructure is supported by a private Landing Strip, highlighting the necessity of aerial travel in this expansive terrain. Scattered across the draws are numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and exploratory Drill Holes, tracing the mid-century industrial footprint on the land. The presence of Sevenmile Draw and Anderson Draw provides a clear view of the natural watercourses that historically dictated road placement and settlement patterns in this part of Crockett County.
