1984 Map of Teacup Mountain

About this map

Copper Breaks State Park dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the Pease River carves a wide path through the red-bed country of North Texas. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations and deep incisions, notably Teacup Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain, which rise above a network of drainages including Mud Creek and Cedar Creek. The map documents a predominantly rural and ranching environment during the mid-1980s, evidenced by the presence of a remote Landing Strip and named land features like Bowley Canyon. Water management is visible through a system of canals and localized springs, while the historical cattle industry is suggested by the Half Circle road or trail. The boundary between Hardeman and Foard counties follows the river's course, marking a transition between these two West Texas jurisdictions.
