1985 Map of Sanderson
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
The Southern Pacific Railroad and US Highway 90 form the primary lifeblood of this Trans-Pecos landscape, following the natural corridors carved by Sanderson Creek and Dry Creek. Centered on the town of Sanderson, the seat of Terrell County, the map captures a period where ranching outposts and rail stops like Dryden, Tesnus, and Rosenfeld defined the sparse human geography of the Chihuahuan Desert. The terrain is a complex system of drainage and elevation, from the Glass Mountains and W B Flats in the northwest to the deep incisions of Big Canyon and Downie Draw.
