1969 Map of Seventeen Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Independence Creek winds through the high plateau of the Trans-Pecos in this 1969 survey, defining a landscape dominated by isolated ranching outposts and deep drainage draws. The map illustrates the sprawling nature of West Texas landholdings, identifying the Seventeen Ranch, Coates Ranch, and Mitchell Ranch as the primary hubs of activity. These operations relied on a network of water features and improvements, such as Well 2807 and a remote Landing Strip, to maintain cattle and transport in the arid environment. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, where the North Fork Independence Creek and Seventeen Draw have carved intricate patterns into the limestone country. A prominent Pipeline and the Pecos Co Terrell Co boundary line provide the only other major human-made interruptions in an otherwise expansive ranching territory.
