1969 Map of Grassland SE

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves a deep, intricate path through this portion of the Texas South Plains, creating a sharp break in the otherwise flat topography of the Llano Estacado. This 1968 photogrammetric survey reveals a landscape where ranching and resource extraction dominate the economy, with the Lynn and Garza county line bisecting the drainage area. Historically significant sites such as the Grassland Cem and Post Montgomery Ranch are visible, serving as anchors for local genealogy and land-use studies. The map also documents the hydrology of the region through numerous Wells and the Dead Negro Draw, alongside evidence of industry at a localized Gravel Pit. The detailed delineation of fence lines across the open country provides a distinct look at the property boundaries and ranching infrastructure of the late 1960s.
