1983 Map of Boggy Creek

About this map

Boggy Creek meanders through this portion of North Texas, defining a landscape of intermittent drainage and essential water management for local agriculture and livestock. Mapped in the early 1980s by the Usgs, this provisional survey captures the terrain as it existed before significant modern changes, reflecting a rural expanse where water sources were carefully named landmarks. The convergence of Turkey Creek and several livestock ponds, such as Flax Tank and Stone Tank, points to the critical importance of ranching infrastructure in Wilbarger County. Small tributaries like Plum Creek provide further detail on the hydrology of the Red River valley region during this era.
