1967 Map of Bead Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Valera occupies the northern edge of this West Texas landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railway. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainage basins, including Elm Cr and Panther Creek, which feed into several reservoirs marked by their spillway elevations. This 1960s survey, updated in the late 1980s, captures a transition in land use, where traditional ranching is overlaid with modern infrastructure. Numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells are scattered across the hillsides, particularly near the prominent Bead Mountain landmark. Local history is anchored by the Valera Cem and Voss Cem, providing clear points of reference for genealogists. The map also reveals a network of industrial developments, including multiple Gravel Pits and subsurface Pipelines that cross the creeks, illustrating the region's mid-century reliance on natural resource extraction.
