1958 Map of Edwards Branch

About this map

The border of Shackelford and Stephens counties bisects this West Texas landscape, defined by the winding course of Hubbard Creek. In the late 1950s, the area remained a patchwork of ranch land and industrial activity, characterized by numerous Oil Wells and a scattering of Sludge Pit and Gravel Pit operations. The drainage network is complex, featuring watercourses such as Mc Dowell Creek, Negro Creek, and South Branch, which converge toward the main creek valley.
