1969 Map of Gant Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, shaping the local topography with incisions like Eagle Canyon and Cottonwood Draw. In the late 1960s, this area of Kent County remained primarily ranch land, evidenced by the presence of isolated outposts such as South Camp and infrastructure like the Iron Trap Windmill. The namesake Gant Hills rise in the east, while the broader terrain is marked by a scattering of water management features, including a Water Tank and Anderson Well, essential for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Subsurface exploration and resource extraction are visible through numerous labels for Drill Hole sites and a Gravel Pit, alongside a buried Pipeline that cuts across the southern plains, indicating the era's industrial footprint on the rural cattle country.
