1973 Map of Sixshooter Canyon

About this map

The Pecos River serves as a winding natural boundary through this West Texas landscape, marking the divide between Terrell Co and Crockett Co. The terrain is defined by deep, dendritic drainages including Sixshooter Canyon, Big Canyon, and Indian Canyon. Settlement is sparse, represented by the Dunlap Ranch located near the riverbank. This 1973 field-checked survey highlights the essential role of water in the arid region, noting several vital sources like Wolf Spring, Richland Spring, and Fords where the river could be crossed. Infrastructure is minimal but specialized, featuring a Landing Strip and a Golf Course near Independence Creek, while a Pipeline cuts across Richland Canyon in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
