1969 Map of Cross

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Cross and the neighboring Franklin Ranch anchor this MCMullen County landscape at the end of the 1960s, a period defined by the convergence of ranching and petroleum interests. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of San Miguel Creek and Bill Walker Creek, which are supported by a complex network of artificial water sources such as Beulah Tank, Indian Tank, and Lone Star Tank. These "tanks" or stock ponds, often bearing evocative local names like Rocking Chair Tank and Birthday Tank, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this arid cattle country.
