1969 Map of Sherbino Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Sherbino Mesa and McKenzie Mesa dominate this West Texas landscape, defined by high tablelands and the deeply carved drainages of Fourmile Draw and Harral Draw. This 1969 field-checked survey documents a transition from traditional ranching to modern energy exploration in Pecos County. While ranching outposts like Ligon Ranch and Harrelson Ranch remain as primary human markers on the land, the map is heavily peppered with evidence of geological prospecting. Numerous entries for a Drill Hole and an Oil Well reveal the intensive sub-surface investigation of the era. The presence of a prominent Tower and intricate fence lines, indicated by fine red dashed lines, illustrates how the vast open range was increasingly managed and segmented during the late 1960s.
