1959 Map of Pecan Crossing

About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this West Texas landscape, defining the character of the Pecan Crossing quadrangle in the late 1950s. This survey records a period of agricultural and industrial utility, where water management is central to the land's function, evidenced by man-made catchments like Forrest Lowe Tank, Crane Hollow Tank, and Silver Tank. The small settlement of Lowe serves as a local landmark amidst a network of drainage systems including Beals Creek, Red Bank Creek, and Silver Creek.
