1941 Map of Big Spring South

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The southern outskirts of Big Spring give way to a landscape defined by livestock ranching and prominent geological landmarks like South Mountain and Signal Peak. Surveyed just before the decade began, this map shows a West Texas environment where water sources like Moss Spring and the Big Spring City Water Wells were vital for both the city and the surrounding cattle operations. The Texas & Pacific RR cuts through the northern edge, connecting the county seat to broader markets, while smaller settlements such as Forsan and Ross City serve as hubs for the local rural population. Scattered schools including Chalk Sch and Panther Draw Sch indicate the distribution of farming and ranching families across the terrain, which is segmented by the Watershed Divide between the Colorado Concho and Beals Creek.
