1962 Map of Bangs East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Brownwood Oil Field and Childress Oil Field dominate this central Texas landscape, where derrick sites and gravel pits intermingle with rural homesteads and family cemeteries. In this early 1960s survey, the area west of Brownwood shows a transition from industrial activity to agricultural land, marked by the prominent Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad line cutting through the northern section. Notable local landmarks include the Drive-in Theater and the Church of the Nazarene near the city's edge, while the southern reaches contain the vast Camp Bowie Military Reservation. The drainage patterns of Clear Creek and Adams Branch define the topography, which includes an Old Railroad Grade and several rural school sites like West Sch, providing researchers a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting both the petroleum industry and the local ranching community.
