1968 Map of Toms Canyon

About this map

The Wildcat Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape of the Trans-Pecos, where a network of dry washes and named canyons define the local geography. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals an arid ranching economy dependent on dispersed water sources, marked by several family-named wells including Cliett Windmills, Baker Windmill, and Joes Rooster Windmill. The terrain is characterized by deep dissection, where Middle Fork Big Canyon and Toms Canyon carve through the plateau toward the south and east.
