1961 Map of Alum

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Nockenut and Alum serve as the primary settlement markers in this early 1960s landscape, which is defined by a rural economy shifting between traditional agriculture and growing petroleum extraction. The drainage patterns of Ecleto Creek and Alum Creek dictate the local geography, with family history etched into the land via numerous small burial grounds like Neyland Cem and Leach Cem. The emergence of the Scotty Oil Field and Ecleto Oil Field reflects the mid-century industrial expansion into this part of Texas, showing the placement of specific Oil Wells and a major Pipeline cutting across the terrain. Small community life is represented by the Missionary Ch near Caddo, while industrial artifacts like Claypits indicate other local resource uses beyond the oil patch.
