1967 Map of Knox City NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through this corner of the Rolling Plains in the late 1960s, a landscape defined by its rugged drainages and emerging petroleum industry. The small settlement of Hamilton sits near the crossing of a major Pipeline and Mc Faddin Lane, surrounded by a network of seasonal waterways including Gyp Creek and Little Croton Creek. The map documents the geological and industrial character of the region during this era, showing numerous Oil Wells scattered across the northern sections and Gravel Pits concentrated near the riverbanks. As the terrain transitions toward the agricultural fields in the south, the confluence of Union Creek and a natural Spring provide vital water resources in this semi-arid Texas environment. The survey also captures complex jurisdictional boundaries where King, Knox, Stonewall, and Haskell counties meet.
