1961 Map of Buck Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Breckenridge stands at the edge of a landscape undergoing a major hydrological transformation in the early 1960s. This survey by the State of Texas and the Texas Water Commission indicates significant areas of land along Hubbard Creek and Sandy Creek that were marked for controlled inundation to create Hubbard Creek Lake. The map serves as a final record of the original terrain before the waters rose, showing the precise locations of the Curry Oil Field and the Curry Pool Road which served the local petroleum industry. Small rural landmarks like Post Oak Cem and Hart Cem remain on higher ground, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line cuts through the northeast, passing by the Stephens County Airport.
