1972 Map of Sterling City NW

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The high plateau of Sterling County is defined here by the deep incisions of Mackenzie Draw and the upper reaches of North Gasconades Creek. This 1972 survey, later revised in the 1980s, documents a landscape predominantly shaped by ranching and resource extraction. The network of pipelines and numerous scattered oil wells and wells indicate the area's industrial importance, while family-named landmarks like Garrett Windmill and Elliott Well provide valuable reference points for those tracing local land use. The topography is split between the flat, open reaches in the west and the more complex drainage systems of Willow Creek and Cox Hollow to the east, illustrating the transition from open range to the breaks of the Gasconades system. Local infrastructure is further marked by a Gravel Pit and various tanks, reflecting the essential water management and material needs of this West Texas environment.
