About this map

The confluence of the Salt Fork Brazos River and its western tributaries dominates this early 1960s survey of the West Texas caprock country. The landscape is defined by ranching infrastructure and hydrological management in a semi-arid environment, with numerous man-made water catchments such as Twomile Tank, Red Arroyo Tank, and Kay Tank scattered across the terrain.

Social and economic life is centered on the Swenson Ranch and the Upper Red Mud Sch, which stands as a landmark of rural education along the White River. The boundary between Garza Co and Kent Co cuts across the eastern portion of the sheet, where the drainage of Red Arroyo meets the main river channel. Notable topographical features include Horse Hollow and Chimney Creek, which illustrate the complex erosional patterns typical of the region before significant modern development altered the drainage basins.
