About this map

The settlement of Chico anchors this 2013 survey of Wise County, where the landscape transitions from established energy production to the recreational waters of Lake Bridgeport. The intricate shoreline of the lake and its neighboring Peach Hill Lake dominate the southern portion of the map, fed by a network of drainage systems including Village Cr and Dry Cr. Evidence of the region’s economic history is scattered throughout the area in the form of the Alvord Oil Field and Miles Jackson Oil Field, while the Richey Airfield suggests modern local transport.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Cumber Cem and Olive Branch Cem, which are preserved alongside local geography like Doc Gan Hollow. This map captures the intersection of public infrastructure and rural life, marked by a dense grid of county roads and several named creeks such as Venchoner Cr and Willow Cr that have shaped the land's utility for generations.
