About this map

Breckenridge serves as the focal point of this North Texas survey, documenting the city's infrastructure and the significant transformation of the surrounding landscape. The western portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling waters of Hubbard Creek Lake, a reservoir that reshaped the valley of Hubbard Creek and Big Sandy Creek. The urban center is detailed with civic landmarks including the Courthouse, Stephens Memorial Hospital, and the Armory, while residential growth is captured through updated streets like Lindsey St and Walker St.

Evidence of the region's industrial and geological character is scattered across the terrain, from the Old Railroad Grade in the northeast to the numerous Oil Wells and Sludge Pits that reflect the area's petroleum history. Topographical features such as Coal Mountain, Gore Mountain, and Donkey Mtn rise above the creeks, while the small settlement of Picketville remains noted just north of the city limits.
