About this map

Amzak Morris Oil Field and the Echo Oil Field dominate the northern and central landscape of this Coleman County region, reflecting the significant petroleum activity of the mid-twentieth century. The small settlement of Echo sits near the intersection of several local roads and State Route 206, serving as a focal point for the surrounding oil and ranching activities. Natural drainage is defined by the winding course of Jim Ned Creek, which is fed by various tributaries including Betty Logan Creek, Hay Creek, and Deadman Branch.

Genealogical and historical interest is anchored by the Walker Cemetery in the southwest and the Camp Colorado (Historical Site) located near the southern edge along East Fork Creek. This site preserves the location of a mid-19th-century frontier outpost. The terrain varies from the low-lying creek beds to elevated points such as VABM Echo, while industrial extraction is evidenced by a Quarry and the Eastland Morris Oil Field.
