1969 Map of Poke Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through a landscape defined by the convergence of steep breaks and the Texas cattle and oil economy of the late 1960s. Straddling the Stonewall and Fisher county line, the terrain transitions from the deep incisions of Poke Canyon and Poke Mountain to the rolling ranchlands of the southern half. Cultural landmarks such as Sacred Heart Ch and Mount Zion Cem anchor the rural community, while the Crescent Ranch illustrates the expansive land use of the period. The map documents an active extractive landscape, scattered with numerous Oil Wells and a Pipeline, alongside older geographical markers like Gap and the Bullock Creek drainage. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of West Texas before modern consolidation, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks and local sites.
