1970 Map of Saragosa

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Saragosa sits at a crossroads of ranching and early irrigation in the Pecos Valley during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the vital movement of water through the Water Improvement Canal and the natural drainage of Toyah Creek. This survey captures the infrastructure of the era, from the industrial presence of Saragosa Siding on the Southern rail line to the numerous gravel and borrow pits that supported local construction. A small Cem and a remote Landing Strip illustrate the sparse but organized settlement pattern of Reeves County. Terrain features like Adobe Draw and Cherry Creek highlight the dry-wash topography typical of West Texas, where water management was the primary driver of development and survival in the desert.
