1971 Map of Roper

About this map

The rural community of Snipesville and the hamlet of Roper anchor this landscape in Jeff Davis County, as documented by the Geological Survey during the 1970s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Hurricane Creek and Currie Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads and settlements. This map offers a detailed look at the social fabric of the era through its small country churches, such as St Matthews Ch, Kirkland Grove Ch, and Oak Grove Ch, which often served as the primary gathering points for the surrounding agricultural community.
