1963 Map of Sand Bluff Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The North Concho River winds through the heart of this West Texas landscape, cutting a path between the elevated plateaus and draws of Sterling County. In the early 1960s, the area's economy is clearly anchored by cattle ranching and modern energy infrastructure, as evidenced by large holdings like Cole Ranch, Reed Ranch, and McEntire Ranch interspersed with prominent pipelines. The terrain is defined by rugged limestone escarpments like Sand Bluff and a network of seasonal drainages including Sand Bluff Draw, Dobson Creek, and Gardener Draw. A small Quarry and a Roadside Park along Highway 87 provide evidence of local industry and the increasing accessibility of the region during the post-war era. The density of bench marks like BM 2465 and BM 2442 reflects the precise surveying required to manage these sprawling ranchlands and utility corridors.
