1983 Map of Oak Hills South

About this map

Oak Hills dominates this high-desert landscape in Presidio County, where the scarcity of water dictated the locations of every human improvement. The 1983 survey records a network of vital water sources ranging from family-named wells like Mc Spadden Wells, Wilson Well, and Love Well to isolated catchments such as Encinosa Tank and Sutherlin Tank. These features represent the infrastructure of West Texas ranching, supporting livestock across the arid terrain. The drainage systems of Oak Creek and Saucita Creek slice through the hills, creating the primary topographic relief in an area defined by wide draws like Long Draw. The presence of the Red Corral Windmill and scattered tanks suggests a focused effort to manage the land's natural limitations, providing a clear view of how land use and hydrology intersect in this remote portion of the Trans-Pecos region.
