1967 Map of Haystack Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Haystack Mountain rises above a landscape defined by significant water management and erosion control features in the late 1960s. This survey, later updated with 1979 photogrammetric data, meticulously records numerous earthen structures and spillways, including Spillway Elev 2768 and Spillway Elev 2549, designed to manage runoff in this drainage-heavy portion of Dickens County. The terrain transitions from flat-topped mesas to the carved-out depths of Scobble Canyon and the winding course of Duck Creek. Evidence of local utility and transport is found at the Roadside Park along the highway and a Gravel Pit near the eastern margin. The presence of multiple Wells and a seasonal Spring highlights the critical importance of water access in this semi-arid Texas environment, while smaller topographic features like Hobble and Cottonwood Creek suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource extraction during this era.
