1972 Map of Horse Creek South

About this map

Horse Creek and its intricate drainage network dominate this 1970s topographical study of Roberts County, Texas. This survey, conducted by the USGS and the Texas Water Development Board, reveals a landscape largely defined by ranching and energy infrastructure. The presence of a Landing Strip and multiple networks of Jeep Trail routes suggests the utilitarian needs of large-scale land management in the Texas Panhandle. Modern industrial activity is evidenced by a Pipeline cutting across the terrain and a localized Pumping Sta near Home Ranch Creek. The absence of dense settlements underscores the rural character of this region, where water sources and technical infrastructure like the Horse landmark serve as primary points of orientation for researchers and landowners.
