1965 Map of Acampo

About this map

Oil field operations and livestock ranching define this landscape in Shackelford County, centered on the small settlement of Acampo. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of waterways, most notably the North Fork Salt Prong Hubbard Creek and Bluff Creek, which carve through the limestone-strewn hills. The map captures a mid-century period of local infrastructure, featuring a Landing Strip and multiple Radio Towers, alongside extractive industry markers like a Quarry and numerous Oil Wells. In the southeast, McCarty Lake serves as a significant water feature near Rock Creek. Traces of earlier activity or local place-naming are evident in labels such as Aggie and several Barrow Pits, offering researchers a look at the industrial footprint and rural layout of the region before late-20th-century developments.
