1970 Map of Verhalen South

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Pecos Valley Southern railroad tracks run parallel to the western edge of this 1970 Reeves County landscape, anchoring a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching corridor. The tiny settlement of Verhalen and the nearby Cotton Gin reflect the local economy of the time, while Saragosa sits further south along the rail line. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Toyah Creek, Sandia Creek, and Cox Draw, which carve paths through the arid plains toward the Pecos River basin. A scattering of wells and specialized features like a Drill Hole and Gravel Pit suggest the ongoing extraction and water management efforts vital to this West Texas environment. Evidence of livestock management appears at a lone Corral, illustrating the ranching heritage that persisted here even as industrial or utility-related markers began to dot the map.
