About this map

Dove Creek meanders through the central basin of this landscape, flanked by a network of ranching and petroleum infrastructure along the border of Irion Co and Tom Green Co. This 1970s survey captures an era of active resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells, Oil Well sites, and a Pumping Sta that dot the hillsides. The presence of a small Cem and named watering points like Byler Spring suggest the established family operations that managed this Texas rangeland.

Water management is central to life here, as seen in the distribution of the Headquarters Windmill, Tuttle Windmill, and Steel Windmill. These landmarks, along with a marked Ford across the creek, illustrate the practical navigation required for cattle and equipment movement before more modern crossings were established. The terrain is further defined by several Gravel Pit operations, indicating a landscape heavily utilized for both its sub-surface minerals and its surface materials.
