1966 Map of Cee Vee

About this map

The Matador Wildlife Management Area dominates the southern half of this Cottle County landscape, where the Middle Pease River carves a complex drainage network through the West Texas terrain. This mid-century survey reveals a rural economy dependent on scattered water sources, evidenced by the numerous named landmarks like Sick Pen Windmill, Samson Windmill, and Lone Canyon Windmill. The small community of Cee Vee serves as a primary hub for the surrounding ranchlands, with the nearby Haven of Rest Cem providing a critical reference point for genealogists and local historians. North of the wildlife area, the land is marked by numerous draws and creeks including Richland Creek and Bluff Creek, illustrating the transition from open grazing land to the more protected riparian zones of the river valley. The map also identifies the small settlement of Coleyville near the northeastern boundary.
