About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves through this West Texas landscape, where the local economy of the late 1960s is defined by petroleum extraction and rail transport. The H D Oil Field dominates the southwestern quadrant, marked by a dense concentration of wells, tanks, and a Radio Tower. This industrial activity is contrasted by the rural settlements of Buenos and Huntley, which sit along the established transport corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad.

Water management and drainage patterns are meticulously detailed along the winding paths of North Dokegood Creek and South Dokegood Creek. These tributaries, along with Falls Creek and the distinctive Red Hollow, illustrate the complex topography of Garza County. The map also records early land modifications such as a Gravel Pit and a prominent Water Tank, providing a clear view of the area's development before modern expansion.
