1966 Map of Maverick Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The South Wichita River carves a winding path through this portion of Knox and King Counties, creating a landscape of deep canyons and prominent mesas. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the river meets landmarks like Glover Bend and Maverick Flat. These geological formations are further dissected by several named drainages including Getaway Canyon, Smelter Canyon, and Panther Canyon, suggesting a rugged ranching environment where water and topography dictate the layout of the land. Human activity is sparse and centered on larger landholdings, notably the Alexander Ranch (Headquarters) and a small Corral near the riverbanks. The map documents the intricate network of seasonal streams like Honey Creek and Salt Creek that feed the river system, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and surveying boundaries of this North Texas cattle country during the mid-1960s.
