About this map

Coleman serves as the central hub in this mid-century Texas survey, where the grid of the city meets the diverging paths of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The town's institutional character is well-defined by the presence of the Courthouse and a network of neighborhood schools, including West Ward Sch and South Ward Sch. Surrounding the urban center, the landscape is shaped by industrial and recreational sites, from the extensive Gravel Pits and numerous Oil Wells to the local Golf Course and Old City Lake.

The outlying areas reveal the importance of water management and transportation in Coleman County, with Hords Creek and Wildcat Creek winding through the terrain. Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible in the network of pipelines crossing the countryside near the Shiloh Ch. This 1963 data, later updated with 1980s revisions, captures the city just as it maintained its role as a regional trade and transit point.
