1974 Map of Hollister NE

About this map

Deep Red Creek meanders across the southern portion of this Tillman County landscape, joined by its tributaries Horse Creek and Deadman Creek. The topography in the mid-1970s is defined by a series of low-lying draws and drainage basins that intersect the vast agricultural sections. For those researching family history in the Hollister area, the presence of Dickerson Cem provides a specific point of reference in the western part of the sheet. The landscape is dotted with several Gravel Pits and Gravel Pit operations, particularly concentrated along the creek beds, indicating the small-scale mineral extraction that supported local road maintenance. This survey emphasizes the transition from the upland divides to the fertile alluvial soils of the creek bottoms, captured during a period of established farming and ranching operations before the expansion of more modern industrial agricultural practices.
