About this map

Archer City anchors the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, revealing the town's layout during a period of established local infrastructure. Notable community landmarks include the High Sch, Berry Stadium, and Burkett Park, alongside the municipal Filtration Plant near Carver Lake. This area of North Texas is defined by the winding paths of the Middle Fork Little Wichita River and the South Fork Little Wichita River, which converge in a landscape heavily influenced by the petroleum industry.

The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Anarene Oil Field, where numerous Oil Well symbols and a complex network of unimproved roads indicate active extraction. This industrial presence contrasts with the riparian corridors of Dogwood Creek and Onion Creek. For genealogists, the local Cem on the northern outskirts of the city provides a vital point of reference for family history research in Archer County.
