About this map

Keith serves as the focal point for this landscape in the early 1960s, a rural Texas community defined by its proximity to numerous small water bodies and seasonal drainages. The area is heavily marked by the Gibbons Creek Lake reservoir system, which includes Gibbons Creek and Sulphur Creek. A network of country churches and burial grounds, such as Evergreen Cem and the Free Will Ch, provides essential points of interest for those tracing family history and regional genealogy.

The landscape is dotted with several private aviation and industrial markers, including the K Ranch Landing Strip and numerous active and inactive Oil Wells. Significant terrain features like the Mesa and the thermal waters of Kellum Springs further distinguish the geography. This survey, updated with late-1980s data, illustrates the persistence of small ranching operations like the Flying J Ranch alongside developing energy infrastructure.
