About this map

T Half Circle Ranch and Allison Ranch anchor this West Texas landscape where the borders of Crockett, Schleicher, and Sutton counties meet. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage channels, most notably Turkey Roost Draw and Nolen Draw, which carve through the plateau. These intermittent watercourses dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure, connected by a web of unimproved roads and the more prominent Glasscock Road to the south.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous drill holes and gravel pits scattered across the rangeland. Energy infrastructure is a primary feature, with a major Pipeline cutting a straight path across the draws. The inclusion of a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower near the ranch sites highlights the logistical needs of managing large, isolated land holdings in the late 1960s. This survey, updated in the early 1980s, documents the intersection of traditional cattle ranching and modern resource extraction.
