1974 Map of Gross Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Frio River and Blanco Creek define this rural South Texas landscape, where the confluence of several watercourses historically dictated land use and ranching boundaries. By the mid-1970s, the terrain was marked by a network of ranching infrastructure and early industrial development. Three distinct reservoirs, Gross Tank, Catfish Tank, and several unnamed water bodies, provide critical water sources in this arid region. The map reveals an evolving economy through the presence of scattered Gas Wells and Storage Bins, while multiple Landing Strips suggest the necessity of aerial access for large property management. Historically significant markers like Windmill No 16 and Windmill No 15 appear alongside the winding path of Elm Creek and the seasonally defined Night Holler Creek.
