1963 Map of Adams

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Poor Hollow and East Poor Hollow carve through the landscape of central Texas in this 1960s study, which highlights an economy defined by natural resource extraction. The presence of a dedicated Oil Field and numerous Gas Wells and Oil Well sites indicates the region's mid-century reliance on the petroleum industry. While the terrain is dominated by these industrial sites and extensive Gravel Pit operations, small clusters of habitation like Adams and Montgomery provide evidence of the local ranching and work-crew settlements that supported the area. The documentation includes fine details such as fence lines and small stock tanks, reflecting the parceling of the land for agricultural and mineral use. This survey, later updated in the early 1980s, captures the transition from traditional ranching toward more intensive industrial development in North Valley.
