1962 Map of Smith Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The White River Reservoir dominates this West Texas landscape, representing a significant post-war water management project in the Caprock canyons. Established at the confluence of several drainages, the reservoir is fed by Duck Creek, Sand Creek, and the White River, with the White River Dam and a nearby Pumping Station facilitating water distribution. This 1962 survey, updated with 1981 photorevisions, shows the infrastructure required to manage these semi-arid plains, including a Substation and various Quarries that point to local extraction and maintenance. The map also delineates the convergence of four counties—Crosby, Dickens, Garza, and Kent—where the terrain transitions through several creek systems like Home Creek. Landowners and local historians can trace fence lines and find family landmarks like Smith Tank, providing a clear record of the area's rural development and agricultural boundaries during the mid-to-late 20th century.
