1968 Map of Spur SW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Salt Fork Brazos River carves a deep path through the southeastern corner of this Kent County landscape, joined by the winding White River in a territory defined by high mesas and canyon-like drainage patterns. Cattle ranching and mineral exploration anchor the local economy, evidenced by family holdings like the Godfrey Ranch and Morrison Ranch alongside numerous Oil Wells and a specific Drill Hole scattered across the flats. The complex hydrology of the region is visible in the confluence of Red Mud Creek, Little Red Mud Creek, and Spring Creek, which navigate the broken ground between open range and the river breaks. A local electrical Substation and a network of unimproved roads provide the primary infrastructure for this ranching district, illustrating the mid-century development of the Rolling Plains.
