1924 Map of Breckenridge 1-a

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

Brazos River oxbows and the rugged confluence with the Clear Fork define this 1924 landscape at the junction of Young, Stephens, and Palo Pinto counties. Surveyed during the region's oil boom, the map documents industrial development with specific landmarks like the Eubanks Derrick and Phillips Derrick. These structures stand in contrast to the established agricultural settlements of Eliasville PO and Sorghum. The distribution of local education is clearly marked through the Sorghum Flat School, Ming Bend School, and Fox Hollow School, reflecting the scattered rural population of North Central Texas during the mid-twenties. Topographer Max J. Gleissner utilized early aerial photography from the U.S. Army Air Service to capture the complex drainage patterns of Fox Hollow and Cedar Hollow, providing a high level of detail for the winding river bends such as Salem Bend and Krabbe Bend.
