About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a deep path across Stonewall County as it appeared in the late 1960s. This territory is characterized by a high density of petroleum infrastructure, with the Aspermont Lake Oil Field, Guest Flowers Oil Field, and Frankirk Oil Field spanning the central and northern sections. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and a complex network of pipelines suggests an era of significant industrial activity centered around hydrocarbon extraction.

Water resources are concentrated near the northern border at Aspermont Lake, which is fed by Tonk Creek. Further south, the terrain is drained by Willow Creek and Hitson Creek as they flow toward the primary river channel. Local transit and geography are anchored by a Roadside Park near a Gravel Pit, providing a glimpse into the rural infrastructure supporting both the oil industry and the surrounding Texas plains during this period of development.
