1959 Map of Spade Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Spade Ranch (Headquarters) serves as the central anchor for this Mitchell County landscape at the close of the 1950s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent drainages and ranching infrastructure, where numerous stock tanks like Beals Creek Tank and Redbud Tank support livestock in the arid Texas climate. The winding course of the Colorado River clips the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while Wildhorse Creek and Beals Creek meander across the center. Prominent landmarks such as Beals Mtn and the isolated Mud Spring Windmill provide navigation points across the rolling rangeland. The map also records early industrial traces including a Gravel Pit and a network of Private roads, reflecting the managed nature of these large Texas landholdings during this era.
