1968 Map of Ginsite

About this map

Ginsite and the rural lands of Cottle County are defined by the convergence of the Wichita River and Buck Creek in this late-1960s topographic survey. The landscape reflects a traditional West Texas ranching and agricultural layout, where isolated landmarks like Harmony Ch and the small settlement of Sneedville serve as primary social anchors. The topography is intricately marked by the drainage patterns of South Buck Creek and Salt Creek, which carve through the plains toward the North Wichita River. Numerous wells are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating the vital importance of groundwater management in this arid region, managed in part by the Texas Water Development Board. These features provide a clear view of the area's infrastructure and community footprint during a period of steady rural development.
