1968 Map of Tesnus SE

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks bisect this high-desert landscape in Brewster County, marking a vital transit corridor through the Trans-Pecos region. The settlement at Rosenfeld and the nearby Cox Landing Field represent the sparse human footprint in a terrain dominated by complex drainage systems and deep cuts. Water management is the primary narrative of this 1968 survey, evidenced by numerous scattered labels for a Water Tank and a single Well across the arid flats. The map details the winding paths of Cox Creek, Maxon Creek, and Alamo Creek, which serve as the primary topographic markers. This era shows the early signs of resource extraction with the appearance of a Pumpjack near Oak Draw. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly fractured, characterized by the deep incisions of McRae Canyon and Cortes Pet Canyon as the land falls toward the Rio Grande watershed.
