About this map

Clear Fork of the Brazos River winds through this West Texas landscape, joined by a network of drainage systems including Buffalo Creek and Alkali Creek. The 1969 field check reveals a terrain defined by industrial development, specifically the Claytonville Oil Field and several prominent pipelines cutting across the southern and western portions of the quadrangle.

Rural life is anchored by landmarks like Bethel Ch and the small settlement of Tutt in the northwestern corner. The map documents the specific locations of water infrastructure, such as various Water Tanks and a Gravel Pit, providing essential details for those researching the mid-century petroleum economy or family land holdings in Fisher County. The elevation contours illustrate the subtle breaks and draws that characterize the area around Bull Creek.
