1967 Map of Sheffield
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Pecos River carves a deep valley through this arid West Texas landscape, serving as the historical boundary for Pecos and Crockett counties. The town of Sheffield is the central hub of activity, featuring the Greer Airfield and the Sheffield Cem. This era of development is defined by petroleum exploration and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by the Half Field Oil Field and numerous water-pumping stations such as the Banner Trap Windmill and Cripple Goose Windmill. Steep canyons like Hog Musk Canyon and prominent elevations including Squaw Peak and Saddle Ridge dominate the topography. Natural water sources are scarce, making Pecos Spring and the seasonal drainage of Fourmile Draw and Twomile Draw vital features of the regional geography during the late 1960s.
