1971 Map of Worsham

About this map

Worsham and its surrounding agricultural landscape occupy this Reeves County terrain during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region defined by arid-land management and transport, anchored by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and the linear path of the Pecos Valley Southern railroad. The presence of numerous wells and drill holes underscores the subterranean mineral and water exploration common to West Texas during this era, while the Worsham Airfield serves as a small but vital hub for local aviation. The landscape is carved by natural drainage systems like Salt Draw and Toyah Creek, which contrast with the engineered grid of fence lines and pipelines. Further south, the settlement of Valley Farm and a designated Borrow Pit provide evidence of local residence and utility operations in this sparsely settled expanse.
