1983 Map of White Hills

About this map

Nine Point Mesa and Jack Eden Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape of Brewster County, revealing a mid-20th-century infrastructure built around water and aviation. The presence of a Landing Strip and a long Pipeline cutting through Cartwright Canyon suggests the logistical demands of ranching or mineral exploration in this arid reach. Water sources, vital for survival in this terrain, are carefully documented through remote features like Alamo Windmill, Tony Windmill, and Double Tanks. The drainage patterns of the Nine Point Draw and West Corazones Draw define the topography between the mesa heights and the White Hills, providing a clear record of the area's natural landmarks as they were recorded in the 1970s and 1980s.
