1968 Map of Longfellow

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Longfellow serves as the focal point of this Trans-Pecos landscape during the late 1960s, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the arid terrain of the Pecos and Brewster County line. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated outposts like Steer Wells and the infrastructure of West Texas ranching, with numerous water catchments such as Haystack Tank, Gap Tank, and Silver Lake scattered across the draws. The geography is characterized by complex drainages including Yolts Draw, Downie Draw, and Javelina Draw, all feeding into the larger systems of Sanderson Creek and Dry Creek. Prominent landmarks such as Panther Peak rise above the surrounding Rattlesnake Flats, while a network of Jeep Trails provides access to remote corners of Sanderson Canyon, reflecting the rugged, utilitarian nature of the region's transport and water management during this era.
