1969 Map of A B C Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Abc and the small settlement at Harmony anchor this West Texas landscape along the border of Kent and Stonewall Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of ABC Creek and Stinking Creek, which carve through the Adair Canyon and past the distinctive Tater Hills. This era of the late 1960s shows a landscape heavily influenced by the petroleum industry, evidenced by the extensive Rough Draw North Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Well symbols and drill holes across the quadrangle. Beyond energy extraction, the map reveals a rural infrastructure of isolation and utility, featuring several private Landing Strips and a network of pipelines. Natural and man-made water sources, such as SoRelle Lake, provide vital points of interest in a region characterized by the dramatic Devils Backbone ridge. This survey documents the intersection of traditional ranching geography with mid-century industrial expansion in a quiet corner of the Texas plains.
