1967 Map of Sheffield NW

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Isolated cattle operations and emerging energy infrastructure define this mid-century Trans-Pecos landscape. Spanning the Pecos and Terrell County line, the terrain is dominated by complex drainage systems such as Sheffield Draw and Lower Fourmile Draw. Local habitation centers on family-named holdings like Cannon Ranch, Clark Brothers Ranch, and Slaughter Ranch. The presence of several Gas Wells and an extensive Pipeline indicate the region's industrial shift toward natural gas extraction by the late 1960s. High points such as Blackstone and Slaughter overlook deep incisions like Bearfoot Canyon, while vital water sources for livestock are marked by the Perkins Windmill and various water tanks. Numerous drill holes scattered across the topography suggest a period of active mineral exploration and geological assessment during this era.
