1968 Map of Hancock

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Hancock sits at the junction of State Route 178 and local roads, serving as the primary human settlement in this section of Dawson County during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from agricultural fields in the west to the deeply incised drainage of Tobacco Creek and Rock Canyon in the east. These geological features reveal a complex network of branching tributaries, including T J F Draw, that carve through the High Plains terrain. Evidence of the region's energy and infrastructure needs is visible through the presence of scattered Oil Wells, a significant Pipeline, and a Water Tank, reflecting the logistical realities of West Texas ranching and industrial activity. A small Cem near the settlement provides a grounded point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this rural community.
