About this map

Kiowa Peak dominates this landscape in northern Stonewall County, rising above a network of deeply eroded canyons and drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of major West Texas waterways, most notably where the Double Mountain Fork meets the Salt Fork Brazos River. This confluence represents a significant hydrological landmark in the region's geography. Historically, the area shows signs of early industrial and resource development, evidenced by the Old Glory Oil Field and scattered infrastructure such as a Water Tank and several Drill Holes.

Land use patterns are further defined by the presence of a Pipeline traversing the northern reaches, while natural features like Smelter Canyon and Beaver Canyon carve through the limestone-capped ridges. Landmarks like Davidson Peak and the Two F Crossing on the river suggest a landscape navigated by ranching and early petroleum interests during the mid-twentieth century. Survey markers such as BM 1632 and BM 1471 provide precise touchstones for researchers tracing local topography and land boundaries.
