2013 Map of Alvord

About this map

Alvord serves as the primary hub of this North Texas landscape, where the local economy is defined by a dense network of energy extraction and aviation. The geography is marked by several significant petroleum developments, including the Caughlin Oil Field, Alvord Southeast Bryson Oil Field, and the Boonsville Oil Field to the southeast. These industrial features sit alongside a rural infrastructure of family and community landmarks, such as Briar Branch Cem and Jonestown Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways like Big Sandy Cr and Pringle Cr, while local aviation is supported by Vance Field Airport and the curiously named Spectre-Airport. A complex web of county roads, including Old Decatur Rd and Prairie Point Pike, connects the disparate homesteads and oil operations across the territory.
