1965 Map of Antelope Hills

About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River winds in dramatic, tight oxbows across this mid-1960s landscape, carving through the boundary between Shackelford, Haskell, and Throckmorton counties. This region is characterized by a concentrated industrial footprint, where numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole are scattered among the drainages of Wolf Creek and Antelope Creek. The terrain is dominated by the Antelope Hills to the east, which rise above the river valley. The density of industrial labels suggests a period of active petroleum exploration and resource extraction, with multiple Drill Holes and a Gravel Pit marking the land alongside the river's path. Toward the southern end of the sheet, Fish Creek joins the network of tributaries that feed into the Brazos watershed.
