Pecos County 1880 Outlook Promises Vast Irrigable Lands
The Texas Sun notes Pecos County still holds about 4,480,000 acres of vacant land along 90 miles of the Rio Grande and 15 miles of Pecos river front. It lists survey costs and land locations, offers comments from local officials, ranchers, and merchants, and highlights climate, irrigation potential, and steady stock ranching prospects for industrious settlers.
