1970 Map of Lone Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lone Mountain dominates this portion of the Edwards Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of the Reagan Co Crockett Co line. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Live Oak Creek, Noelke Creek, and Schneemann Draw, creating a complex network of canyons and mesas. In 1970, this area was characterized by sparse ranching and early petroleum development, evidenced by the numerous specialized windmills like Gay Windmill, Big Sampson Windmill, and Wildcat Windmill that provided critical water sources in an arid environment. The presence of Santa Maria Camp and Redman Camp suggests temporary or seasonal ranching outposts, while scattered Drill Holes and a Pipeline point to the expanding oil and gas industry of West Texas. This survey provides a precise record of water management through infrastructure like the Sugar Bowl Tank and the various windmills named for local families or topography.
