1966 Map of Carbon
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The town of Carbon serves as a central hub for this late-1960s study of Eastland County, where the transition from a traditional rail-dependent economy to an energy-producing landscape is clearly visible. Traces of the Old Railroad Grade cut across the terrain, reflecting the area's older transportation networks, while the presence of the Leon Powerplant and Lake Olden in the northeast indicates the industrial development of the mid-20th century. Numerous Oil Wells and a Claypit are scattered throughout the region, highlighting the importance of natural resource extraction to the local economy during this era.
