1965 Map of Collins Creek SW

About this map

Oil Field operations dominate this Shackelford County landscape, where numerous wells and drill holes are scattered across a complex network of ridges and drainages. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Fish Creek, Swayer Creek, Cook Creek, and Bluff Creek, which carve through the terrain. In addition to the extractive industry, the map identifies small landmarks such as a Radio Tower and a Landing Strip, indicating the specialized infrastructure required for managing these remote operations in the mid-1960s. Local geographic markers like Monroe and Cook provide specific points of reference within this resource-rich pocket of the Texas plains. A Quarry near the southeastern corner further emphasizes the area's industrial character during this period of development and revision.
