1966 Map of Bear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Bear Mountain rises above a landscape defined by the rugged drainage patterns of the Pinto Canyon and its many tributaries in Eastland County. During the mid-1960s, this area of North Texas maintained a sparsely populated character, evidenced by the isolation of the Cook Cem and the numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes that dot the terrain. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade in the southwestern corner indicates a shift in transportation infrastructure, as older rail routes gave way to the emerging highway system that now cuts across the northern edge of the map. Along the creek beds of Bear Creek, Brush Creek, and Pinto Creek, the map details a mix of industrial activity and natural landmarks, including several gravel pits and a quarry, illustrating the local extraction economy of the era.
