1962 Map of Dodd NE

About this map

The North Fork Running Water Draw meanders across this high plains landscape in Castro County, highlighting the vital role of natural drainage in a region largely defined by agricultural land use and water conservation efforts. This 1962 survey, published by the Geological Survey and the Texas Water Commission, captures a rural network of intermittent basins and carefully managed resources. Evidence of local history and industry is sparse but significant, with the Flagg Cem providing a genealogical anchor for the area. The presence of a Sandpit and the Ft W & D railroad line along the northeastern corner points to the essential transport and extraction activities that sustained these high plains communities during the early 1960s.
