1966 Map of Tonk Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Throckmorton County ranchlands of north-central Texas are defined here by a dense network of seasonal watercourses and prominent local topography. Sellers Hill rises as a significant landmark above the surrounding plains, overlooking the confluence of the West Fork and East Fork as they feed into Tonk Creek. This 1966 field-checked survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its drainage patterns, with Tecumseh Creek and Horse Creek carving intricate relief through the limestone-underlaid terrain. While the area remains largely rural and open, the map records industrial activity through numerous Gravel Pits and various Drill Holes, alongside a major utility corridor marked simply as Pipeline. These markers provide essential evidence of mid-century land use and resource extraction in this portion of the Texas Rolling Plains.
