About this map

Aspermont Lake and the surrounding Stonewall County landscape are defined by a mix of petroleum extraction and the winding course of the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River. This 1960s-era survey illustrates an economy transitioning between cattle ranching and heavy oil production, with large-scale operations like the Frankirk Oil Field and Flowers Field dominating the terrain north of the river. The southern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the river's deep meanders and the local landmark known as Mountain.

Infrastructure for the region's development is evident through the inclusion of the Aspermont Landing Field, numerous pipelines, and a local Golf Course. Water management and transport are underscored by features like the Gaging Sta near the river and the presence of Tonk Creek and Willow Creek. Smaller points of interest for local researchers include the Roadside Park and several scattered gravel pits and oil wells.
