1963 Map of Buffalo Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Buffalo Draw carves through the high plains of West Texas in this early 1960s topographic record, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainage systems. Spanning the Mitchell Co Sterling Co boundary, the area shows a distinct transition from open rangeland to the dissected terrain surrounding Mustang Creek and Hackberry Creek. The mapping reveals the practical adaptations of cattle ranching and early industry in this arid environment, evidenced by labels like Hyman Tank and a small Quarry near the northern boundary. Genealogists and local historians will find the Knobhill Cem situated on the higher ground between Forest Creek and Dry Hollow Creek, serving as a permanent landmark in a region characterized by shifting seasonal waters and scattered ranch infrastructure.
