1984 Map of Chalk Peak

About this map

Trent and several small rural settlements punctuate the rolling landscape of West Texas along the border of Nolan and Taylor counties. The terrain is defined by the prominent Chalk Peak and Gainey Point, with numerous drainages like Stink Creek and Noodle Creek carving through the countryside. This 1984 edition serves as a detailed record of local genealogy and infrastructure, particularly centered around the Mulberry Canyon Cem and dispersed agricultural sites like Herndon, Grimes, and Toland. The presence of Sand Spring and the headwaters of Weaver Springs Creek suggest the vital role of water management in this cattle and oil-producing region, providing researchers with a clear look at the area's development before late-twentieth-century changes.
