1964 Map of Sonora NE

About this map

Family ranchlands like the Mertz Ranch and Steen Ranch define this landscape in the mid-1960s, a period when local water management and energy extraction were reshaping the Texas ranching economy. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Meckel Draw and Lowrey Draw, which are interrupted by flood control structures such as Site No 5 and Site No 10. These sites, marked with specific spillway elevations, indicate the systematic effort to manage seasonal runoff in the semi-arid region. Industrial activity is evident through the presence of a Gas Well 2368 and a Pipeline crossing the county line. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the northern portion of the map, providing a vital transport link for the remote operations of the Caralita Ranch and Powell Ranch.
