1970 Map of Iron Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Apache Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this landscape, rising above a high-desert floor defined by seasonal drainage systems and scattered water improvements. In the early 1970s, ranching operations and transportation corridors remained the primary human footprint in this arid Culberson County region. The Texas and Pacific railroad tracks cut a diagonal path across the northern reaches, while numerous isolated water sources such as Pistola Windmill, Sulphur Windmill, and the Goat Shed Waterhole served as critical landmarks for local land use. A network of Jeep Trails provides access through the complex topography of Iron Mountain and Red Point, connecting several family-named and descriptive features like Foster Windmill and Mountain Windmill. The presence of several Drill Holes and Wells points to ongoing geological exploration or water searches in this thirsty terrain.
