1942 Map of Big Spring South

About this map

Big Spring anchors the northwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, where the Texas and Pacific RR cuts across the plains before the terrain rises into the dramatic escarpments of South Mountain and Signal Mountain. The 1930s survey reveals a region defined by extensive ranching operations and nascent oil-field era settlements. To the south, Forsan and Ross City emerge along the highway corridors, surrounded by a network of family-held lands such as the Wasson Ranch, Radliff Ranch, and Morgan Ranch.
