Clearly this route is about water availability and perhaps a supply line to Blanket from lower on the Colorado River. FM 1467 follows roughly the path of Blanket Creek, so it’s not hard to imagine why this would have been such a well travelled route during early settlement of the county. T. C. Smith recorded early settler William McQueen’s memories of travel and settlement along Blanket Creek in his book, From Memories of Men. I guess if you were lucky enough to grab some land by Blanket Creek, it could be hard to let that go. Blanket Creek is running dry.
