1929 Map of Sheffield
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
The Pecos River carves a deep path through this West Texas landscape, serving as the historical boundary between Pecos County, Terrell County, and Crockett County. This 1929 reconnaissance survey captures the region during a period of transition, where the historical ruins of Fort Lancaster stand in contrast to the emerging industrial energy of the Yates Oil Field. Settlements like Iraan and Red Barn appear alongside large tracts such as the Archer County School Land, reflecting the complex overlay of ranching, mineral exploration, and public land grants. The route of the Old Spanish Trail follows the rugged canyon topography, connecting remote outposts like Sheffield and Sand B Headquarters across a terrain defined by limestone breaks and deep draws including Cannon Draw and Independence Draw.
