1967 Map of Kiowa Peak NW

About this map

North Croton Creek winds through the deeply eroded breaks of the Rolling Plains in this mid-century look at the border between King and Stonewall counties. The landscape is dominated by ranching and resource extraction, anchored by the J M A Ranch and several widely dispersed industrial markers. A series of pipelines and scattered Drill Holes indicate active oil and gas exploration across the mesas. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by features like the Pen Branch Tank and the reservoir at Spillway Elev 1671. Transportation in this remote sector relies on a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail, with a private Landing Strip providing essential aerial access to these isolated ranch lands.
