1959 Map of Bob Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Salt Fork Brazos River winds through the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, marking the transition between King and Stonewall Counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Bob Creek and Brushy Creek, which carve through the plains toward the river. Human presence in the late 1950s is represented by sprawling livestock operations like the Martin Ranch and isolated water sources such as Brushy Tank and Negro Tank, essential for ranching in this arid region. Near the western boundary, the Gilkerson Cemetery offers a point of interest for genealogists, while the presence of an Oil Well near the center of the sheet indicates the early industrial footprint of petroleum exploration. The map also captures the path of Highway 83 as it bisects the ranch land, and identifies local landmarks like Deadmans Hole along the riverbanks.
