1983 Map of McClain Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Sanderson Creek winds through this arid expanse of Terrell County, cutting through a series of canyons including Seminole Canyon and McClain Canyon. The map illustrates a landscape defined by limited water sources and isolated ranching outposts, such as the Gatlin Ranch and Harrison Ranch. These homesteads are supported by essential features like Springs, Lake Tank, and the unique Indian Pothole, reflecting the challenges of life in this part of the Trans-Pecos. A solitary Landing Strip near Lion Canyon serves as a reminder of the vast distances between settlements in West Texas during the late twentieth century. To the southeast, the drainage of Garcia Creek and Persimmon Creek further shapes the terrain, providing a look at the hydrography of the region before modern developments.
