1970 Map of Tucker Hill

About this map

Hackberry Draw carves a path through the arid landscape of West Texas, defining the local topography between the Reeves Co Pecos Co line. In the early 1970s, this area was characterized by a scattered network of resource extraction and ranching infrastructure. Named elevations like Tucker Hill and Hayter Hill rise above a plain dotted with family-named or section-marked water sources, including the Riggs Windmill, Metzger Windmill, and York Windmill. The presence of a dedicated Schoolhouse and a Roadside Park suggests a community structure oriented around the highway and local ranching interests. Along Mendel Road and the main thoroughfare, several Gravel Pits, a Gas Well, and an Oil Well indicate the industrial footprint of the era, while fine red dashed lines on the survey trace the extensive fence lines of the surrounding estates.
