1921 Map of Lowake

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Lowake sits at a critical junction of rail and ranch land in West Texas during the early 1920s. This survey, conducted by the Department of the Interior in cooperation with the State of Texas, captures the community at a time when rural education was centered around localized campuses like Sweet Home School and Green Wall School. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of Little Concho Creek, which creates significant topographical relief across the central portion of the sheet. The local economy and movement of goods were tied directly to the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, specifically the (Paint Rock Branch) that cuts through the territory. Detailed contour intervals illustrate the drainage patterns along the Runnels Co Concho Co boundary, providing an archival record of the area's physical geography before modern development or large-scale land alteration.
