1972 Map of Cave Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The South Concho River winds through the western portion of this landscape, a vital water source defined by landmarks like the Panther Bluff Waterhole and the prominent Panther Bluff. This 1970s survey captures a rural Texas transition zone where the traditional ranching economy met emerging energy infrastructure. Numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well appear throughout the hills, connected by a network of pipelines that cut across the topographical contours. The map straddles the boundary between Tom Green Co and Schleicher Co, centered around the namesake Cave Spring. In the southeast, the small settlement of Oliver stands as a focal point in a territory otherwise dominated by vast gravel pits and intermittent drainages like Dry Creek. This sheet provides a detailed view of West Texas land use, from isolated natural springs to the industrial footprints of the mid-century petroleum boom.
