1978 Map of Flat Rock Creek SW

About this map

Sycamore Creek winds through the semi-arid landscape of West Texas in this late-1970s survey, marking a rugged terrain where water sources and elevation changes dictate human activity. The map reveals a sparse ranching and industrial environment along the intersection of the Val Verde and Kinney County lines. Small-scale industrial sites, including multiple Gravel Pits, are scattered near the eastern edge, while the interior is defined by intermittent drainages like Javelina Draw and the deep cuts of Maurice Canyon. Infrastructure in this era appears limited to functional ranching features and private aviation, evidenced by the Landing Strip near the center of the sheet. The settlement of Hamilton stands as a primary point of reference in a region otherwise characterized by isolated water Tanks and the network of unimproved roads that navigate the limestone-scrub country.
