1967 Map of Shep

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Shep and Happy Valley anchor this West Texas landscape during the late 1960s, a period marked by extensive petroleum extraction and land management. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Spring Creek, Bluff Creek, and the various forks of the Elm Creek watershed, which carve through the plateau toward Flat Top Mountain. The map reveals a working landscape where numerous Oil Wells and Gravel Pits are interspersed with cattle country infrastructure. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Shep Cem and Bluff Creek Cem, while modern utility developments are represented by a Pumping Sta, a Substa, and several strategically placed radio towers. Significant elevation markers like Horse Hollow and specific spillway levels offer a precise record of the hydrological engineering that supported this rural Taylor County community.
