1966 Map of Admiral

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Belle Plain serves as a focal point for Callahan County history on this mid-1960s survey, marked by its Belle Plain Cem and ruins that hint at its 19th-century prominence. A Belle Plain Historical Marker designates the site of this once-thriving frontier town and college site, which sits at the edge of a landscape defined by the drainage of Deep Creek and the West Fork of the Brazos River. To the east, the small settlement of Admiral anchors a rural network of ranch roads and scattered oil wells. The topography is shaped by the prominent Spring Gap and Spring Gap 2, while Baird Lake in the northwest corner provides a key water source for the region. The map captures a transition from traditional ranching and the memories of early Texas settlements to the industrial presence of modern oil extraction and utility pipelines.
