About this map

The Cisco street grid and the educational campus of Cisco Junior College anchor this West Texas landscape during a period of mid-century industrial activity and regional growth. Oil production is a dominant theme across the terrain, notably at the Bankline Oil Field, while numerous Oil Wells and a complex network of Pipelines dot the drainages of Sandy Creek and the North Fork Leon River.

Physical geography is defined by the significant reservoir of Lake Cisco and the prominent heights of Flat Top Mountain and Cedar Mtn. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial sites including Oakwood Cem, Bedford Cem, and Reagan Cem. Transportation history is visible in the transition from the Union Pacific railroad lines to the relic paths of the Old East Railroad Grade and the Old Indep Railroad Grade.
