About this map

Verde Creek and its many tributaries, including Second Creek and Hexa Creek, define the landscape of this Medina County region in the late 1960s. The settlement of Quihi sits at the confluence of several seasonal waterways, anchored by the Quihi Cem and the nearby New Fountain community. This area reflects a quiet rural character where small family cemeteries like Decker Cem, Britsch Cem, and St Johns Cem are scattered across the ranching and farming terrain.

Industrial and technical footprints appear alongside the natural drainage patterns, notably the Automotive Test Facility located in the central part of the quadrangle. Extensive Gravel Pit operations are found throughout the western sections, particularly near the banks of the creek beds. A significant Pipeline corridor cuts across the eastern half of the map, passing near Polecat Creek and Elm Creek before meeting Cherry Creek to the south.
