1970 Map of Eden SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Negro Gap and the surrounding drainage basins of the San Saba River watershed define this landscape along the border of Concho County and Menard County. In the early 1970s, the region was characterized by a rural extractive economy, evidenced by the numerous scattered Gravel Pits and widespread energy infrastructure. An extensive Oil Field is documented here, with a dense network of Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the western terrain. The natural hydrology is marked by the seasonal flows of Live Oak Creek and Dry North Fork Creek, with a localized Spillway managing water movement in the north. This survey provides a precise record of the land use patterns during a period of active resource development in Central Texas, showing the intersection of industrial sites like Storage Bins with the natural topography of the Edwards Plateau.
