About this map

Herd Camp Creek winds through the northern landscape of this Jones County survey, a distinctive drainage feature in an area defined by its named terrain regions. The map identifies broad geographic divisions including Banner and War Creek to the north, and Kolls and Virgil to the south. These names often represent historic grazing associations, early ranching tracts, or localized topographical markers used by early 20th-century settlers and land managers. The layout reveals a high-plains landscape where natural water sources and named territory divisions were essential for navigation and cattle ranching in the early 1970s. Topographic details like fence lines and section boundaries indicate the organized land use of the period, as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
