1969 Map of Blackwell SW

About this map

White Hat Ranch and Whiteside Ranch define the ranching character of this West Texas landscape along the county line between Nolan and Coke Counties. The terrain is deeply incised by a drainage network including Antelope Creek, Bouzier Creek, and Gobbler Creek, which flow through a topography marked by numerous small hills and draws. The 1969 field check captures a period when energy and resource infrastructure was well-established, noted by a prominent Pipeline crossing the northern section and several scattered Oil Wells. The presence of a remote Landing Strip and the small settlement of Henry at the eastern edge suggest the isolated nature of this region. Mapping revisions from 1985 highlight later developments in the local landscape, such as Gravel Pits, while maintaining the core pastoral identity of the territory.
