1962 Map of Antelope Creek SE

About this map

Antelope Creek and its many tributaries carve through this Throckmorton County landscape, defining a terrain of draws and flats that supported early ranching and energy exploration. By the early 1960s, the area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses like Wolf Creek, Sulphur Creek, and the prominent Rock Flat area. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole alongside a modern Pipeline and a remote Landing Strip illustrates the mid-century transition toward industrial resource extraction in rural Texas. Local geography is further detailed by features such as Spring Hollow and Swenson Creek, providing a clear record of the watershed before later modifications or environmental changes occurred.
