1967 Map of Salt Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Salt Gap community sits at a crossroads in the late 1960s, marking the boundary between the Concho Co and McCulloch Co lines. The landscape here is defined by the northern escarpment of the Brady Mountains, where the elevation rises sharply from the drainage basins of Salt Creek and Waloope Creek. These intermittent streams carve through the limestone terrain, creating distinct landforms such as Rattlesnake Point and the high point known as Pear. The map reveals a ranching landscape dotted with various Gravel Pits and isolated water sources like Well locations, essential for livestock in this semi-arid region. To the northeast, the terrain softens around Little Saddle Creek and the landform labeled Saddle, illustrating the transition from the rugged mountain face to the rolling plains that characterize this portion of Central Texas.
