About this map

The Brownwood Strip Mine Oil Field dominates the eastern landscape of this survey, illustrating the intensive extraction economy of Brown County during the mid-20th century. Extending westward from Brownwood, the terrain is defined by a dense network of energy and industrial sites, including the Childress Oil Field and the Clear Creek Oil Field, alongside numerous unnamed gravel pits and quarries.

Transport and community infrastructure follow the path of the Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railroad, which passes through the settlement of Bangs. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of local landmarks like the Cedar Point Cem, West Sch, and the Church of the Nazarene. The rural character of the area is further evidenced by several family-named landmarks such as Krueger Hill and Boysen Cut, situated near the winding course of Adams Branch.
