1968 Map of White Camp

About this map

Salt Fork Brazos River winds through the southwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, cutting deep into the terrain as it flows toward the more level plains to the east. This 1968 field-checked survey reveals the rural character of Kent County, centered on the settlement of White Camp. The mapping shows a landscape of braided creek beds and seasonal drainages, where Red Mud Cr and West Prong Duck Creek define the local hydrology. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant for local history, including the Antelope Church in the northeast and various Well sites that signify the importance of water and resource extraction in this arid environment. The map captures a moment when fence lines and unimproved roads were the primary markers of human division across the rolling ranch land.
