1967 Map of Spur NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The rolling terrain along the border of Dickens and Kent Counties is defined by a complex network of waterways, most notably Red Mud Creek and its tributary Little Red Mud Creek. In the late 1960s, this area of West Texas shows signs of significant water management and agricultural research infrastructure, including an extensive Aqueduct system and a Pumping Sta WT. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Rolling Plains Research Station, while Spade Draw leads into a substantial reservoir area marked by a Spillway. The landscape is etched with smaller drainage features like Grapevine Branch and Spring Creek, which feed into the larger creek systems. These details capture a moment of transition where natural canyons and draws were increasingly integrated into regional water development projects such as those overseen by the Texas Water Development Board.
