1966 Map of Santa Rosa Lake SW

About this map

The North Wichita River winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a remote stretch of North Texas where the boundaries of Baylor, Foard, and Knox counties meet. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages like Crooked Creek and Rose Hollow Creek that carve through the prairie toward the larger river systems. This is a region of traditional ranching operations, centered on working landmarks such as Corral and the Waggoner area, reflecting the expansive cattle heritage of the Rolling Plains. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the course of South Beaver Creek, illustrating the complex water rights and land divisions in a territory where an Indefinite Boundary still persisted between Wilbarger and Baylor counties at the time of the survey.
