1978 Map of Tepee Butte SW

About this map

Mac Guire Ranch serves as a lonely human outpost in this high-desert landscape during the late 1970s. The map illustrates an arid ranching economy heavily dependent on scattered water sources, including Apache Tank, Deep Well, and Red Tub Tank. The presence of twin Landing Strips suggests the necessity of light aircraft for navigating these expansive Hudspeth County distances. Topographical interest is concentrated along Alamo Canyon and the Head of Canyon Tank, where the terrain drops sharply compared to the surrounding plateau. This survey highlights the infrastructure of West Texas range life, from a simple Corral to the specific siting of Water Tanks positioned to sustain livestock across the scrubland.
