1968 Map of Boiling Spring

About this map

The North Wichita River and its southern counterpart, the Wichita R, dominate the drainage patterns of this Foard County landscape. The topography is defined by the sharp erosion of creek beds cutting through the Texas plains, most notably around the settlement of Boiling Spring. This area shows a complex network of seasonal waterways, including the descriptively named Blue Hole Creek and the bifurcated paths of Good Creek and Little Good Creek. The map documents a period of land management where fence lines and unimproved roads carve through the breaks and draws leading down to the river bottoms, reflecting the ranching character of the region in the late 1960s.
