1978 Map of Molesworth Mesa South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Molesworth Mesa dominates this West Texas landscape, providing a high-altitude vantage point over a network of seasonal water drainage systems and isolated ranching infrastructure. The high desert environment is defined by its water management, with features like Hobo Tank, Drag Tank, and the Antelope Tanks serving as critical nodes for survival and livestock. The human presence is sparse but concentrated, anchored by the Williams Ranch near the eastern boundary and a lone Corral to the north. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the map illustrates how topography dictates movement and land use, with Number 9 Draw and Antelope Draw carving paths through the terrain. This sheet is a record of specialized desert ranching, where remote outposts like Hobo Wells represent the tenuous but persistent habitation of the Trans-Pecos region.
