1921 Map of Maverick

About this map

Maverick sits at the heart of this 1921 survey, serving as a primary settlement node during a period of agricultural and ranching development in West Texas. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River in the south and a network of drainages including Oak Creek, Hog Creek, and Juniper Creek. This survey was conducted in cooperation with the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers, highlighting the era's focus on water resource management in the semi-arid region. To the south, the Brookshire School provided a focal point for the rural community, while the Coke Co Runnels Co boundary line marks the western edge of the quadrangle. The topography reveals deep-cut creek beds and varying elevations, including a specific benchmark at BM 1787, illustrating the detailed work of surveyors C.C. Holder and T. F. Murphy.
