1969 Map of Mofeta

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks cut a straight line across the Trans-Pecos landscape of Terrell County, anchoring the small settlement of Mofeta. This 1969 topographic study captures a specific era of West Texas aviation and transportation, featuring the Dryden Airfield and its associated Beacon, positioned just south of the rail line. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Buck Creek to the north and the deep incisions of Sanderson Creek Canyon in the southwest corner. Local history is marked by ranching outposts like Rule Ranch and Eldridge, alongside a small Cem near the Mofeta siding. The map also records technical survey points like Dryden West Base, reflecting the precise geodetic work required to map this arid, high-desert environment.
