1966 Map of Cap Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Indian Ridge and the dramatic Escarpment dominated the landscape of the Texas Panhandle in the mid-1960s, marking the transition from the high plains to the broken canyonlands below. The Forbes Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells indicate the intensity of petroleum exploration during this era, while a private Landing Strip and isolated Pumping Sta reflect the remote operational needs of the region. The drainage systems are particularly complex here, where the North Fork Brazos River, Double Mountain Fork Brazos River, and Salt Fork Brazos River begin their descent. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through various Gravel Pits and a Claypit, while the settlement of Cap Rock sits atop the plateau near a utility Substation. The boundary between Crosby Co and Garza Co runs through these rugged breaks, where landmarks like Courthouse Mtn served as essential navigational points for locals.
