1969 Map of Smoky Mountain Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Smoky Mountain Ranch and Slaughter anchor this West Texas landscape along the high plateau of the Edwards Plateau region, where the Pecos Co Terrell Co boundary line divides the arid terrain. The map documents an area defined by deep drainage networks and isolated ranching outposts in the late 1960s. Significant watercourses like Lower Fourmile Draw and Sheffield Draw carve through the limestone, leading toward the dramatic descent of Surveyor Canyon. Industrial activity is evident in the northern reaches, where an Oil Field and scattered Drill Holes indicate the expansion of petroleum exploration into these remote ranchlands. A dedicated Landing Area near the main ranch complex and a network of Jeep Trails illustrate the era's reliance on specialized transport to navigate the expansive draws and ridges surrounding Smoky Mountain.
