1969 Map of Tige Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Double Mountain Fork Brazos River snakes through the center of this 1969 survey, where the rugged breaks of the Texas Rolling Plains meet the industrial footprint of West Texas petroleum exploration. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Tige Canyon and Addie Canyon, which reveal the complex drainage systems feeding the river. This era of the late 1960s shows a terrain heavily marked by rural activity, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the ridges and flats near Devils Backbone. The convergence of Fisher, Kent, and Stonewall counties is meticulously noted, highlighting the Indefinite Boundary that once divided these cattle and oil-producing districts. From the winding course of Rough Creek to the secluded Longhorn Valley, the map provides a precise account of the land's surface before decades of subsequent development and environmental change.
