1966 Map of Proffitt Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Proffitt Crossing serves as the focal point of this northern Texas landscape where the Brazos River meanders through the boundary of Throckmorton and Young counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Rabbit Creek, Boggy Creek, and the winding Elm Creek. Unlike the more settled regions of the state, this area shows a landscape primarily shaped by natural watercourses and the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction. Numerous scattered Oil Wells are mapped across the prairie, indicating the mid-century energy production that defined much of this rural corridor. The presence of Cribb Station Creek suggests a history tied to old transit routes or stage stops, while features like Brushy Knob Creek and Meyer Branch further illustrate the rugged, creek-carved topography of the region during the mid-1960s.
