1973 Map of Bluff Creek

About this map

The Brady Mountains rise in the southern portion of this McCulloch County landscape, presenting a distinct topographical barrier that shapes the local drainage patterns. This 1973 survey captures a rural Texas environment defined by the winding course of Bluff Creek and its tributaries, including Cow Creek and the divided West Fork and East Fork. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Table Top Mountain and localized landmarks like China Tank. While primarily agricultural and pastoral, the map documents specific points of industrial activity through the labeling of Gravel Pits and a Gas Well, indicating the varied use of the land during the early 1970s. The network of unimproved roads and light-duty surfaces connecting these features illustrates a sparsely populated region where geography dictates the placement of transit and industry.
