1961 Map of Chico
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The town of Chico serves as the industrial and transport anchor for this North Texas region during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the extensive Miles Jackson Oil Field and the surrounding infrastructure of the petroleum and mineral industries, including a Gasoline Refinery and several Quarry sites. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisects the area, with specialized branches like the Lone Star Spur and an unnamed spur serving the local quarries. In the southwest, the waters of Lake Bridgeport meet the West Fork Trinity River, with shoreline areas marked for controlled inundation. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Red Bud Ch, Cumby Cem, and Olive Branch Cem, while the Bridgeport Airfield and a nearby Airway Beacon reflect mid-century aviation needs.
