1969 Map of Fivemile Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Fivemile Creek winds through this West Texas landscape, defining a region where the drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado margin meet the rangelands of Borden County. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a transition from natural watercourses like Bull Creek and Crooked Creek to an increasingly industrialized terrain. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and several Gravel Pits scattered across the northern and eastern sectors speaks to the mid-century extraction economy that shaped this area. Local infrastructure is represented by a network of rural routes including Miller Road and Gray Road, which provided access for ranching and resource management. Notable topographic landmarks such as the summits of Five Mile and Bull provide vertical contrast to the winding paths of Red Mud Creek and Mesquite Creek in the south.
