About this map

Baumann School stands as a central landmark in this rural West Texas landscape, positioned near the boundary between Mitchell and Nolan counties. The 1960s terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage, with the South Fork Champion Creek winding through the center, joined by Hanks Hollow. Further south, the map details the courses of Cottonwood Creek, Big Silver Creek, and Red Bull Creek, illustrating the natural watershed patterns typical of this semi-arid region.

Evidence of local infrastructure and early energy development is visible through several Well and Wells sites, a Pumping Sta, and multiple Pipeline corridors. A private Landing Strip and a scattering of Gravel Pit locations suggest a working landscape where ranching, resource extraction, and aviation intersect. The presence of numerous fine red dashed lines indicates established fence lines, marking property boundaries and land use in the late 20th century.
