1964 Map of Antelope

About this map

Antelope and Shannon anchor the landscape of northern Jack County in the early 1960s, a region defined by its rugged drainages and the upper reaches of the West Fork Trinity River. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations such as Backbone Mountain and Mount Lebo, while the presence of an Oil Field in the north indicates the region's mid-century energy production. For those tracing family roots, the map provides precise locations for the Antelope Cem and Shannon Cem, situated near their respective settlements. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Lodge Creek, Hoefle Creek, and Willow Creek cutting through the woodland and pasture. A county line separating Clay and Jack counties runs through the northern portion of the quadrangle, passing near the small settlement of McKinlay.
