About this map

Anson serves as the focal point of this Jones County survey, revealing the town's mid-century layout with its central Courthouse, Library, and Hospital. The residential core is flanked by an Athletic Field and the High Sch, while the municipal infrastructure extends to Sewage Disposal Ponds on the eastern edge. Beyond the town limits, the landscape transitions into agricultural and resource-rich territory, marked by several Oil Well sites and Gravel Pits.

Hydrological features dominate the northern and central terrain, most notably the Anson North Lake with its specified Spillway. The surrounding drainage system includes Thompson Creek, Skinout Creek, and Redmud Creek, which carve through the plains. Local connectivity is defined by the Fort Worth And Denver railroad and rural outposts such as Radium and Plainview. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies small community anchors like Hanna Ch and the Anderson Chapel Cem, alongside the Steen Airfield and a Drive-in Theater reflecting the era's recreational habits.
