1962 Map of Bangs West

About this map

The Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad bisects this landscape, anchoring the development of Bangs and smaller outposts like Liberty and Obregon. This 1962 survey, with revisions into the late 1970s, captures the rural character of the Coleman Co Brown Co line as the region balanced agriculture with an expanding energy infrastructure. The drainage of Mukewater Creek and its East Fork and West Fork tributaries define the local topography, while numerous labels for Oil Field and Gas Field activity indicate the industrial drivers of the era.
