1970 Map of Meier Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Meier Hills and the New Well Hills dominate this West Texas landscape, rising above a network of ephemeral watercourses in Reeves County. The terrain is defined by dry drainage systems such as Fivemile Draw, Prizer Draw, and Hackberry Creek, which channel seasonal runoff toward the desert floor. Water management is a primary focus of this 1970 field check, evidenced by a prominent north-south Aqueduct and numerous isolated water stations. Scattered infrastructure for ranching and resource extraction includes the Fiorenzo Windmill, Bravo Windmill, and several Gravel Pits. Localized features like Cotton Springs and the North New Well Windmill mark rare points of reliable water in a region where travel often relied on a system of Jeep Trails and minor roads. Small markers like the Drill Hole locations suggest ongoing mineral exploration or geological surveying during this era.
