Map drawing by Crawford highlights county route plan
Local tribute to Alma Crawford for drawing a detailed 3 by 6 foot map of Jett Davis county showing key routes and landmarks like Skillman Grove and the old fort. The map, created with topographical data and state highway permission, will be used for future publicity with copies available through the Chamber of Commerce. Crawford, stationed at Van Horn, did this as a voluntary effort alongside highway work.
