About this map

Colorado River frontage defines the northern edge of this Concho County landscape, where the terrain breaks into the branching drainage system of Mustang Creek. This 1967 survey (updated with 1980s photorevisions) captures the rural transition between the high plateaus and the river valley, characterized by ranching infrastructure and intermittent stream beds. The map documents scattered agricultural and industrial marks, including the Stevens Ranch and several Gravel Pits that suggest the local extraction economy of the mid-20th century.

Genealogists will find the Millersview Cem on the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a primary point of interest for those tracing family roots in this part of Texas. The presence of a Landing Field and an Athletic Field near the drainage of the North Fork Mustang Creek indicates pockets of community activity amidst a largely open range. Other features such as a Gas Well, a Corral, and a Water Tank provide evidence of the specialized land use required to sustain life and industry in this semiarid environment.
