1967 Map of Mustang Creek

About this map

The Colorado River carves the northern boundary of this West Texas landscape, where the border between Coleman and Concho counties follows the river’s path. This mid-century survey reveals a rural economy centered on ranching and resource extraction, anchored by the Stevens Ranch and the small community of Mustang. The hydrology of the region is exceptionally detailed, showing the convergence of the North Fork, West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork which feed into Mustang Creek. This intricate drainage pattern suggests a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and intermittent creeks like Gatling Creek and Salt Branch. Cultural landmarks such as the Millersview Cem and an Athletic Field provide evidence of local community life, while various Gravel Pits and a Gas Well point to the area's industrial footprint in the late 1960s.
