1962 Map of Bangs West

About this map

The town of Bangs serves as the primary hub of this Central Texas landscape, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The map captures a period of transition where the established agricultural landscape is punctuated by an expanding Gas Field and numerous Gravel Pits, indicating the region's mid-century shift toward resource extraction. The area's hydrology is dominated by the wandering path of Mukewater Creek and its various tributaries, including the East Fork and West Fork, which define the drainage patterns south of Cedar Ridge.
