1963 Map of Rio Pecos Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Pecos River serves as the focal point of this arid West Texas landscape, winding along the northern boundary through a network of irrigation works including the Imperial Ditch and the Grand Canal. This 1963 survey illustrates the heavy intersection of petroleum exploration and ranching, dominated by the sprawling Waha Oil Field and the eponymous Rio Pecos Ranch. Dozens of individual wells and numerous drill holes are mapped across the terrain, indicating the intensive industrial activity of the era.
