1968 Map of Foreman Chapel

About this map

Foreman Chapel stands as a focal point in this West Texas landscape, where the drainages of Cottonwood Creek and Duck Creek carve through the Dickens County terrain. Originally mapped in the late 1960s with updates through the early 1980s, the map documents a rural economy defined by cattle ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and various water wells. The inclusion of the Espuela Cem and small settlement points like Dockum and Hackberry provides critical spatial data for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of the state. A notable 1979 revision identifies a Landing Strip and small reservoirs, illustrating the gradual infrastructure changes in this region. The relationship between the topographic relief of Dockum Draw and the established road network reveals how the physical geography shaped the placement of local landmarks and transit routes.
