1923 Map of Sierra Madera

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Sierra Madera dominates this arid landscape, its distinct circular formation rising sharply above the surrounding desert floor. Surveyed in the early 1920s in cooperation with the University of Texas, the sheet captures a rugged expanse of Pecos County characterized by ephemeral drainage systems like Sixshooter Draw, Number Four Draw, and Ellis Draw. Human presence is sparse and concentrated at ranching outposts such as Elsinore Ranch and Tulley Ranch, indicating the vast grazing territories of the era.
