USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Sunset sits at the intersection of critical rail lines and highway routes in North Texas, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and farming country. The Fort Worth and Denver railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific runs north-south through Park Springs. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a landscape being reshaped by water management, notably with the presence of Lake Amon G Carter and a series of flood control structures like Big Sandy Creek Dam No 11 and its sister dams.
