1972 Map of Nopal

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Southern Pacific rails cut a straight path across this high desert landscape of Presidio County, anchoring the small settlement at Nopal and the nearby Nopal Ranch. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral watercourses including Cuervo Draw, Colquitt Draw, and Long Draw, which drain toward the south and east. These drainages, along with man-made features like Catto Tank and W-Bar Tank, illustrate the vital importance of water management in this arid cattle-ranching country during the early 1970s.
