1972 Map of Dog Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The West Texas landscape of Sterling County is defined by its deep drainage patterns and ranching heritage in this 1970s survey. Large ranching operations like McClure Ranch in the northwest and Alvie Cole Ranch to the south anchor the local geography, connected by unimproved roads and private Landing Strips. The topography is dominated by the winding paths of Mulberry Creek and Coyote Creek, which have carved intricate contours into the terrain. Industrial footprints are visible through scattered oil wells and a dedicated gravel pit, indicating the local extraction economy of the era. The presence of the label Humble near the eastern margin suggests petroleum activity tied to the namesake energy company, while names like James Hollow and Little Mulberry Creek record the localized nomenclature used by families working this land for generations.
