1969 Map of Cap Rock SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Salt Fork Brazos River and the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River dominate this West Texas landscape, showing a complex network of drainage and relief in Garza County. At the end of the 1960s, the region's topography was increasingly defined by the industrial infrastructure of the petroleum era. Multiple Oil Wells, a Drill Hole, and an Aqueduct crossing the terrain highlight the local economy's reliance on water management and resource extraction. Smaller details like a solitary Grave and a Water Tank provide the kind of specific, hyper-local landmarks essential for genealogical research and historical recreation. This survey captures a moment where the natural watercourses like Lake Creek and Falls Creek intersected with growing human engineering in the High Plains.
