1967 Map of Sheffield SE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Deep incisions of the Texas landscape dominate this 1967 survey of eastern Terrell County, where Reagan Canyon and Harkey Draw carve through the limestone plateau. The isolation of the Trans-Pecos region is evident in the sparse infrastructure, centered primarily around the Allison Ranch and its supporting Landing Strip and Landing Area. This environment relied heavily on subsurface water management for livestock, as indicated by the presence of the East Martin Windmill and Farm Tank Windmill. In the southern reaches, Independence Creek provides a rare perennial water course amidst the arid terrain. The map also reveals the industrial footprint of the era through scattered Gravel Pits and numerous Drill Holes, reflecting active mineral or water exploration during the late 1960s.
