1970 Map of North of Tucker Hill

About this map

The boundary between Reeves and Pecos counties bisects this West Texas landscape, revealing a transition from agricultural ranching to early energy exploration. The Blue Ridge Farm stands as a focal point of settlement in an area otherwise defined by scattered water infrastructure like the McCarmack Windmill and East Sanders Windmill. An Indefinite Boundary runs diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the challenges of surveying this arid expanse. The economy of the era is evident in the proliferation of extractive sites, including several instances of a Gas Well, Oil Well, and a Gravel Pit. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks such as Mendel Road, which provides access to the industrial Drill Hole sites located near the Pecos County line.
