1967 Map of Church Peak

About this map

Fort Chadbourne Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this West Texas terrain, where the intersection of Coke, Runnels, Nolan, and Taylor counties creates a complex border region. The 1960s industrial footprint is clearly visible through a refinery and numerous oil wells and gravel pits that dot the drainages of Fish Creek and Wagon Tire Creek. This extraction-based economy is framed by significant topographic landmarks including Church Peak, Hylton Mountain, and Mathis Mountain.
