1980 Map of Leoncita Ranch

About this map

Leoncita Ranch anchors this high-desert landscape in the Trans-Pecos region, where three West Texas counties converge. The terrain is defined by the prominent Benson Mountain and the seasonal drainages of Limpia Creek and Musquiz Creek. In this arid environment, water management is the primary marker of human presence, with numerous catchments like Benson Tank and Big Tank scattered across the ranchlands. A remote Landing Strip and Hovey Road provide the essential transportation links through a territory where ranching infrastructure, such as the Waldo Windmill, remains the most significant development. The map also clearly delineates the complex jurisdictional boundaries meeting in this area, including the intersections of Pecos, Jeff Davis, and Brewster counties.
