1966 Map of Brewster NW

About this map

Middle Fork Sappa Creek carves a distinct path through the high plains of the High Plains, defining the drainage patterns across Llano, Barrett, and West Hale townships. This 1966 field-checked survey reveals a landscape organized by section lines and agricultural water management, evidenced by numerous wells scattered across the upland flats. Local social history is anchored by the Pleasant Home Ch, which also serves as a cemetery site, and the Freeland Cem further north. Traces of historical transportation infrastructure are visible in the southeast corner along the Old Railroad Grade as it crosses from Sherman County into Thomas County. The map provides a precise look at the rural transition where the creek valley interrupts the flat agricultural tableland of Union township.
