1932 Map of Camp Springs

About this map

Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves a complex, winding path through the broken country along the boundaries of Fisher, Kent, and Stonewall Counties. This early 1930s topographic record, partly compiled from aerial photography by the Air Corps, reveals a landscape defined by dramatic erosion, where deep cuts like Rough Canyon, Potato Canyon, and Tiger Canyon drain toward the river. Human presence is sparse, centered around the County Line Sch and the transit corridor of State Highway No 18. The map notably includes a large section designated as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, reflecting the transition in mapping techniques as surveyors moved from ground-based transit to the use of aerial vantage points to document the intricate drainage of Longhorn Valley.
