1971 Map of Earwood Creek SW

About this map

East Prong Nueces River carves through the landscape along the county boundary of Edwards Co and Real Co in this 1970s topographic record. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching and resource territory, characterized by isolated infrastructure like the Blair Windmill and several scattered Drill Holes. The drainage network is clearly defined by seasonal watercourses, including the aptly named Contrary Creek in the northwest and Hunger Creek to the northeast. Industrial activity is indicated by several small Gravel Pit operations and a significant Pipeline corridor that cuts across the central terrain. Local geography is further marked by named landforms such as Ranger Hollow, providing a clear look at the area's development before modern suburban expansion or changes in rural land use.
