1972 Map of Dog Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

McCrary stands as the lone named settlement in this high plateau landscape where the borders of Tom Green, Irion, and Sterling counties meet. The 1972 survey captures an era of resource extraction across the Edwards Plateau, evidenced by the scattered Oil Wells and the larger Funk Oil Field in the southeastern quadrant. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems, including Dog Creek, Live Oak Creek, and West Rocky Creek, which carve through the limestone-capped ridges. While many watercourses are labeled as Dry Creek, the presence of a Water Tank and various Drill Holes indicates the persistent efforts to tap into subsurface resources in this arid ranching and energy-producing region. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of county lines and the industrial footprint of petroleum development during the early 1970s.
