1980 Map of Sierra Madera NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Round Mountain stands as a prominent topographical anchor in this arid Pecos County landscape, where survival and movement are defined by scarce water sources and expansive drainage systems. The map illustrates a ranching economy reliant on scattered infrastructure, specifically a network of family-named or descriptive water features such as Weak Windmill, Sixshooter Windmill, and Red Well. These points, along with the intermittent courses of Sixshooter Draw and Four Number Draw, provide a window into the logistical realities of West Texas land use in the mid-1970s. Industrial activity is present through scattered Drill Holes and a Gravel Pit in the northern section, while a remote Landing Strip suggests the vast distances required for aerial transport in this part of the Trans-Pecos region.
