1983 Map of Marathon
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Marathon serves as the focal point for this West Texas landscape, positioned along the Southern Pacific railroad line. The settlement features essential community infrastructure such as a High Sch, a Cemetery, and a Landing Strip, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the Hollow Mountains and its branching drainages like Wood Hollow and Big Wood Hollow. The vast ranching heritage of Brewster County is evident through an extensive network of named water sources, including Coon Windmill, Wegner Windmill, and New Causey Windmill. These scattered landmarks, along with the Post Road and Beakley Draw, reveal the vital infrastructure required for life and industry in the Trans-Pecos region during the early 1980s.
