1968 Map of Boiling Spring

About this map

Boiling Spring serves as the namesake landmark for this stretch of the Texas ranchlands, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems feeding into the North Wichita River. Mapped in the late 1960s with revisions through 1979, the topography shows a network of seasonal watercourses like Blue Hole Creek and Good Creek winding through the undulating terrain. The area's ranching character is evident in the fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines, which cut across the open country regardless of the winding paths of Little Good Creek or the wider Wichita R. This survey captures the rural isolation of Foard County before more modern development, emphasizing natural features and property boundaries over dense settlement.
