1966 Map of Bear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Bear Mountain dominates the northeast corner of this 1960s survey, rising above a landscape defined by deeply incised drainage systems and mid-century industrial development. The terrain is carved by the Bear Creek, Jenny Creek, and the complex forks of Pinto Creek, creating a rugged topography that shaped the local transport and extraction patterns. Evidence of the area's changing economy is visible through the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the southwestern quadrant, a remnant of earlier freight needs now bypassed by modern Pipelines. This era of the Eastland County landscape is further marked by the expansion of the energy sector, with numerous Oil Wells and a Drill Hole scattered throughout the canyon lands, alongside localized excavations like a Quarry and Gravel Pit.
