1967 Map of Voss

About this map

Voss serves as the primary settlement hub in this West Texas landscape, situated near the boundary of Coleman and Concho counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate drainage system where Elm Creek and Panther Creek cut through the limestone uplands, eventually feeding toward the Colorado River at the southern edge of the quadrangle. This 1967 survey, with revisions noted through the early 1980s, reveals a landscape shaped by both ranching and local industry. The map captures a high density of Gravel Pits concentrated along the creek valleys, suggesting significant aggregate extraction during this era. Genealogists will find the Hill Cem centrally located, while topographic enthusiasts can trace the sharp meander of the river at Horseshoe Bend. The network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths connecting these features illustrates the rural connectivity between isolated homesteads and local resource sites.
