1980 Map of Sierra Madera SE

About this map

Water management dominates this arid West Texas landscape in Pecos County, where numerous earthen tanks and wells supported ranching operations in the late 1970s. Named features like Lemon Tank and Talley Taylor Tank indicate the vital role of specific family-held water sources in this environment. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses such as Number Four Draw and Nineteen Draw, which channel seasonal runoff through the hilly topography. Human activity is further evidenced by a remote Landing Strip and occasional exploration sites marked as Drill Hole. This survey provides a record of the infrastructure necessary for life and industry in the high desert, documenting the scattered network of Mitchell Tank and Number Nine Tank across the territory.
