1963 Map of Archer City East

About this map

Archer City serves as the focal point for this North Texas landscape, where the petroleum industry and cattle country intersect. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals a terrain heavily shaped by oil exploration, with the King Wilson Oil Field and the North Archer City Oil Field surrounding the town. A network of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty paths connects dozens of active Oil Wells across the rolling topography, while the local infrastructure includes a Hospital and Sewage Disposal plant. The drainage of the area is defined by Onion Creek and its tributary, Little Onion Creek, which meander through open fields and wooded clusters. This sheet provides a detailed look at the rural economy of Archer County before modern suburban expansion, documenting specific field names like the Barbara Oil Field and Gore Oil Field.
