About this map

The rolling drainage basins of central Texas are documented in this mid-century survey along the Runnels and Coleman County line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Grape Creek and its larger counterpart, Grape Creek, which dominate the central topography. This era of land use is characterized by a mix of ranching and energy extraction, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and Gas Wells situated near the northern border.

Hydrological engineering is visible through several containment structures, including Spillway 1754 and Spillway 1708, which manage the flow through the seasonal draws. Local infrastructure for the period includes a Radio Tower and various Gravel Pits, alongside a major Pipeline corridor that cuts across the northern reaches, illustrating the industrial footprint on this rural landscape just west of Talpa.
