1969 Map of Middle Creek

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River snakes across this West Texas landscape, cutting through the high plains of Garza County. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain shows a mix of traditional ranching and modern industrial development. The U Lazy S Ranch occupies a significant portion of the area, centered near Middle Creek. The landscape is etched with oil production infrastructure, including numerous scattered Oil Well sites and a prominent Pipeline. To the south, Salt Creek feeds toward the river, while a Landing Strip and Gravel Pit indicate the logistical and extractive activities of the era. The mapping of selected fence lines across the high ground provides a detailed view of property divisions and land use patterns during this period of the twentieth century.
