2012 Map of Antelope

About this map

Antelope and the small settlements of Shannon and Oakland anchor this rural landscape in Jack County, where the W Fork Trinity River and its many tributaries, including Flat Cr and Lodge Cr, shape the terrain. The presence of the Hoefle Oil Field and numerous local roads named after early families—such as Barry Rd, Watson Rd, and Raht Rd—reflects a long history of local industry and homesteading. Notable landmarks like Backbone Mtn and Mt Lebo rise above the drainage basins, while the Antelope Cem and Shannon Cem serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The map captures a late 20th-century transition, showing modern Farm-to-Market roads like FM-175 alongside older local routes such as China Ridge Rd and School House Rd, illustrating the evolution of transport in north-central Texas.
