1963 Map of Quito Draw

About this map

The Pecos River and its confluence with Toyah Creek anchor this mid-1960s study of the Ward Co Reeves Co boundary line. This arid landscape is defined by the logistics of water and resource extraction, visible in the network of the Lateral and Canal systems that cut through the terrain. A notable engineering project is the Texas and Pacific RR (Under Construction), which traverses the northern portion of the sheet near Hays Hill. The map documents a scattered industrial and agricultural footprint, from numerous Oil Wells and a central Quarry to specialized locations like the Barstow Water Tank and isolated outposts such as Barstow Well. The presence of the A W R R E Field and various named wells like Teague Well and Jones Well provides specific touchpoints for local historians and genealogists tracking family land use and early energy development in West Texas.
