1974 Map of Peloncillo Peak

About this map

Peloncillo Peak stands as the primary landmark in this ranching landscape along the border of Kinney and Maverick counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage systems, including Elm Creek, Stricklin Creek, and Lindsey Creek, which feed into numerous livestock watering tanks across the brushland. These tanks, bearing local names like Hard Luck Tank, Birdnest Tank, and Pretty Tank, indicate the essential infrastructure required for cattle operations in this arid region of South Texas during the mid-1970s.
