1978 Map of T P Well

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Water resources and land management take center stage in this high-desert region of the Trans-Pecos. The landscape is defined by the vital presence of isolated water sources, including T P Well, Indian Well, and Wheeler Well, which served as critical infrastructure for cattle ranching. This desert topography, surveyed in the mid-1970s, features numerous artificial catchments like New Tank, Willow Tanks, and Hideaway Tank designed to capture ephemeral runoff across the arid flats. The map also records the Indefinite Boundary between El Paso and Hudspeth counties, reflecting the complex surveying history of the West Texas frontier. Industrial activity is visible in the north near the hills, where a Quarry and Gravel Pit indicate local resource extraction. Throughout the quadrangle, a network of fence lines and a Private road suggest a landscape of large, privately held ranching tracts typical of the region.
