1966 Map of Canyon Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Salt Fork Brazos River winds through this West Texas landscape, cutting deep canyons through the Caprock escarpment near the boundary of Crosby Co and Garza Co. At the heart of the terrain lies the small settlement of Canyon Valley, situated where the river bottom broadens. The geography is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Lake Creek and Turkey Creek, which carve into the high plains to meet the main river channel. Numerous well sites and drill holes dot the northern plateau, indicating early petroleum or water exploration in this region during the mid-1960s. The map captures a transition from the flat, agricultural tablelands to the complex breaks and draws of the Brazos watershed, revealing how water and topography dictated the placement of roads and homesteads in this part of the Rolling Plains.
