1963 Map of Sand Bluff Draw

About this map

North Concho River winds through this West Texas landscape, shaping a network of intermittent drainages including Sand Bluff Draw and Dobson Creek. The terrain is defined by large pastoral holdings such as the McEntire Ranch and Cole Ranch, illustrating the ranching economy of Sterling County during the mid-20th century. While most of the area remains open rangeland, industrial infrastructure is evident through the series of pipelines crossing the territory. Pockets of activity are concentrated around features like the Landing Strip and a small Quarry, suggesting the multi-use nature of these lands. The presence of Roadside Park along the primary roadway and landmarks like Reed provide points of orientation within the expansive draws of the Concho basin.
