1964 Map of Moore Ranch

About this map

The high plains of Schleicher County are documented here in the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by ranching and an emerging energy infrastructure. Ranching interests are represented by the Linthicum Ranch and the Evans property, while the industrial character of the region is evident through the Eldorado Pumping Station and several prominent pipelines that cross the terrain. The presence of Bootleggers Lane offers a evocative hint of local history and movement through this part of the Edwards Plateau. The drainage patterns of Dove Creek and Granger Draw illustrate the intermittent water sources critical to this semi-arid environment, supplemented by numerous wells and a visible Radio Tower that served as a modern landmark during this era of rural development.
