1973 Map of Turney Draw NW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Val Verde and Edwards County line bisects this 1970s landscape, where cattle ranching and water access dictate the patterns of settlement. High desert terrain is carved by ephemeral drainage systems like South Draw and Turney Draw, which feed into the more prominent Devils River. The area's agricultural life centers on established properties such as the Whitehead Ranch and Barnhart Ranch, supported by a critical network of remote water infrastructure. Scattered windmills including the Buckley Windmill, Heifer Windmill, and Mutton Pasture Windmill are meticulously mapped, serving as vital landmarks for local history and land management. This survey captures a specific era of West Texas ranching before modern consolidation, documenting the exact placement of gravel pits and exploratory drill holes across the arid draws.
