1970 Map of Rocking Chair Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kickapoo Creek and Rocky Creek carve through the plateau of the Edwards Plateau region, defining a landscape dominated by large-scale ranching and emerging mineral extraction. The boundary between Tom Green Co and Schleicher Co bisects the northern half of this area, where the eponymous Rocking Chair Ranch and Crowbar Ranch serve as primary landmarks in a sparsely populated territory. The presence of several Drill Holes, a Gas Well, and an Oil Well suggests the expansion of the Permian Basin's energy footprint into these traditional grazing lands during the late 1960s. This survey, based on 1968 aerial photography, uses fine dashed lines to indicate property fence lines, providing a precise record of land division and range management at a time when the region's economy was increasingly balanced between livestock and petroleum.
