1963 Map of Brokeleg Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Brokeleg Mountain anchors this 1963 survey of the Sutton County landscape, a terrain defined by the deep incisions of Cat Hollow and Bell Hollow. The map reveals a ranching economy organized around water sources and subtle changes in elevation, with numerous family-held holdings such as the Schwiening Ranch and Wyatt Ranch dispersed throughout the territory. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding paths of Epps Creek and West Copperas Creek, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipeline corridor suggests the intersection of traditional land use with mid-century industrial development. Local historians can trace the specific boundaries of late 20th-century ranching life, from Peach Springs to the Kelley Ranch, during a period when these family names were central to the regional identity.
