1979 Map of Pierce Ranch

About this map

Pierce Ranch sits at the heart of this Hudspeth County landscape, illustrating the water-dependent ranching operations of West Texas in the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by isolated peaks and ridges, most notably Round Mountain, with a network of catchments such as Ramsey Tank, Horton Tank, and Morris Tank providing critical resources for livestock in an arid environment. Transportation and infrastructure reflect the region's low-density settlement and varied utility, featuring the Milehigh Community Airport and dedicated Landing Strips alongside more rugged routes like a Jeep Trail. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of a Gravel Pit, while the presence of a Well and several numbered water tanks points to the systematic management of groundwater and surface runoff essential for sustaining the cattle ranching economy of this high-altitude desert plateau.
