1968 Map of Rustler Camp

About this map

Rustler Camp sits at the heart of this West Texas landscape, positioned just south of the Motley Co Dickens Co line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and springs that feed into the Tongue River (South Pease), which cuts across the northern portion of the map. This area represents a classic cattle-and-ranching environment of the late 1960s, where seasonal drainages like Rustler Creek, Grapevine Creek, and Mexican Creek provided vital water sources. In the far northeast corner, the presence of the Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad line suggests the historical importance of rail transport for moving livestock and resources out of the Rolling Plains. Scattered resource extraction points, such as an Oil Well and a Gravel Pit, highlight the industrial activity occurring alongside traditional ranching operations.
