1968 Map of Ross Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Pecos River Red Bluff Reservoir defines the southwestern corner of this 1960s landscape, where the water meets the arid terrain of the Rustler Breaks. The land is marked by the seasonal drainage patterns of Brushy Draw and Tucker Draw, which cut through a region dominated by ranching and industrial utility. Ross Ranch stands as a primary local landmark in a territory crisscrossed by an extensive Pipeline network and dotted with numerous drill holes, reflecting the area's mid-century reliance on resource extraction. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the small settlement of Rustler further illustrate the working character of this Eddy County landscape during a period of steady petroleum and mineral exploration.
