1972 Map of Mertzon
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Mertzon and Sherwood serve as the primary hubs of this West Texas landscape, positioned along the vital corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The topography is defined by the prominent Lopez Peaks and the drainage network formed by Lopez Creek and Bull Run Creek, which flow toward the more substantial Spring Creek. This 1970s survey, updated in the late 1980s, reveals a rural economy rooted in transportation and resource extraction, evidenced by a network of Gravel Pits and a large Pipeline traversing the hills. Local history is anchored by the Mertzon Cem and Sherwood Cem, while the inclusion of the Landing Strip and Lopez Spring highlights the importance of both modern infrastructure and natural water sources in this arid environment.
