1961 Map of Chico
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The settlement of Chico serves as the hub of this North Texas landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisects a terrain defined by petroleum extraction and pastoral creek valleys. The map documents the extensive energy infrastructure of the Miles Jackson Oil Field, showing numerous gas wells and pipelines that crisscross the countryside. To the southwest, the jagged shoreline of Lake Bridgeport meets the West Fork Trinity River, indicating the importance of water management in this region. Local history is anchored by rural landmarks such as Red Bud Ch and the Olive Branch Cem, while industrial activity is noted at the Quarry and along the Lone Star Spur. The geography is further detailed by numerous named drainages, including Venchoner Creek and Dry Creek, which flow through the undulating land near Perch Hill.
