1982 Map of Bartons Chapel

About this map

Bartons Chapel serves as a central landmark in this portion of Jack County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the West Fork Keechi Creek and its various tributaries. This 1982 photorevised survey illustrates a rural Texas environment where traditional community markers like Springdale Ch and Bartons Chapel Cem coexist with the region's energy infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells scattered across the north. The terrain rises to distinct elevations such as Tettertiller Hill and the survey point at VABM 1298 Steed, offering a clear view of the transition between wooded creek bottoms and open upland fields. The map also captures the local transport and aviation footprint of the era, from the winding rural roads to a remote Landing Strip located near the western boundary. For genealogists, the presence of specific family-named landmarks like Sparks Spring provides valuable localized context for the late 20th-century Jack County countryside.
