1967 Map of Schneeman Draw NW

About this map

Fogarty Ranch stands as a solitary named landmark within this stretch of the Edwards Plateau during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the seasonal waters of Schneeman Draw and Bill West Draw converge into the larger Howard Draw. The map reveals an area where the traditional ranching economy intersected with emerging industrial needs, evidenced by a large Pipeline cutting across the northern and southern terrain and numerous scattered Drill Holes. Aside from the primary ranch, the human imprint on the land is mostly utilitarian, marked by several Gravel Pits and unimproved roads that trace the natural contours of the Howard East Fork Draw. This survey captures the remote character of Crockett County before more intensive development, preserving the exact locations of early resource exploration sites.
