1971 Map of Pecos West

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The western edges of Pecos expand into the Trans-Pecos landscape during the early 1970s, revealing a town shaped by the crossing of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific railroads. The grid of the city reaches toward the open scrubland with residential streets like Washington and Jefferson framing the local community life. This era captures the town's social and infrastructure landmarks, from the Municipal Airport and a nearby Landing Strip to local gathering spots like the Drive-in Theater. Genealogical details are well-preserved in the footprints of Fairview Cem and Mount Evergreen Cem. The map also details the local economy through scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of the Radio Tower (KIUN), reflecting the industrial and communication ties of this Reeves County hub.
