1943 Map of Pendejo Wash

About this map

Pendejo Wash snakes through this high desert landscape, defining a region characterized by sparse settlements and a complex water management system during the early 1940s. The map reveals the critical importance of water in this arid environment, marked by a network of tanks and wells named for local families and early development efforts, such as the CCC Tank and the Old Wright Place. Cattle ranching infrastructure is evident throughout the terrain, with specialized features like the Mare Pasture Tub and Herd Pasture Tub located near the eastern draws.
