1970 Map of Clear Creek Lake

About this map

The San Saba River cuts through the southern reaches of this West Texas landscape, where the confluence of numerous drainages like Bois D'Arc Creek and Fields Creek create a complex system of draws and ridges. Local transit and water access in the early 1970s are marked by the Beyer Crossing on the river and the presence of Clear Creek Lake, which collects the flow of Clear Creek and Silver Mine Creek. This survey captures the region during a period of active resource extraction, evidenced by a designated Oil Field to the north and various Prospects and gravel pits scattered across the terrain.
