1984 Map of Cactus Creek

About this map

The Pease River carves a winding path through this corner of the Texas Rolling Plains, defining the jurisdictional boundary where Cottle and Hardeman counties meet. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of seasonal drainages and erosion-cut features, including the prominent Red Bluff and the deep incisions of Bull Canyon. Settlement is sparse in this era, with the map primarily documenting water sources critical to ranching and land use in a semi-arid environment.
