1960 Map of Buzzard Roost Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Queens Peak and the surrounding ranching landscape of Montague County are defined by a complex network of waterways and early community centers. This 1960 field-checked survey reveals a rural Texas economy transitioning through the mid-20th century, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes that dot the landscape alongside traditional landmarks like the Texas Agricultural Experimental Station. High points such as Buzzard Roost Knob, Colt Mtn, and Red Mound provide natural surveillance over the drainages of East Belknap Creek and Barrel Springs Creek. The social fabric of the era is captured through the presence of the Lone Star Sch and Rock Spring Sch, while local genealogy is grounded at the Oak Hill Cem and Rock Spring Cem. This survey also meticulously records property boundaries with fine red lines, indicating the established fence and field lines visible from aerial photography of the time.
