1967 Map of Cedar Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The boundary between King County and Knox County divides this landscape of West Texas ranching and water management. Centered on the prominent rise of Cedar Mountain, the terrain is defined by deep cuts like Smelter Canyon and Little Getaway Canyon. The map documents a rugged cattle-country economy, noting several family operations including the Driver Ranch, Lyles Ranch, and Williams Ranch. Because water is the primary concern in this arid environment, the survey meticulously identifies man-made infrastructure such as the Coppermine Tank, Horseshoe Tank, and Big Tank. Essential landmarks for navigation and land use include the Croton Windmill and Little Dick Windmill, while a small prospect site near Smelter Creek hints at the mineral exploration that gave these canyons their names.
