1970 Map of Howards Well SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Watson Ranch and Kincaid Ranch represent the sparse human footprint in this corner of West Texas during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of dry washes and canyons that carve through the limestone terrain, including the prominent Howard Draw and Sevenmile Draw. The map documents early energy exploration in the region, noting a Gas Well, Oil Well, and a Drill Hole scattered among the draws. An Indefinite Boundary marks the dividing line between Crockett and Val Verde counties, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the northern canyons, signifying the industrial infrastructure emerging within this ranching country. The naming of features like Jesus Canyon and Dog Canyon reflects the local vernacular of the plateau's rugged topography.
