1964 Map of Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a horizontal line through this Culberson County landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Plateau and the nearby ranching outpost at Sacaton. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water management essential for West Texas ranching, marked by numerous storage points such as Plateau Tank, Sandhill Tank, and Cockleburr Tank. These features are vital for understanding the historical land use patterns in an area defined by its drainage systems like Plateau Draw and Michigan Draw. A local Landing Field and a scattered Gravel Pit highlight the infrastructure supporting transportation and industry during the mid-1960s. The presence of fine red dashed lines indicates historical fence lines, providing genealogists and local historians with a detailed record of property boundaries and land divisions from the era.
