1963 Map of Brady SW

About this map

The northern reaches of the Brady Corp Bdy and the edge of Brady Reservoir define the upper margins of this landscape in McCulloch County. Water management is the primary industrial footprint visible, with a series of numbered catchments including Reservoir No 4, Reservoir No 5, and Reservoir No 6 concentrated along the watershed of Bear Creek. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named and numbered windmills, such as the Truman Windmill, Double Well Windmill, and Blue Well Windmill, indicating a ranching economy reliant on groundwater across the broken topography of Crooked Hollow and Little Fivemile Hollow. A small settlement presence at Epsey and scattered Quarry sites further reflect the local land use during the early 1960s.
