About this map

Collinsville anchors this North Texas landscape, sitting at the junction of the Missouri Pacific railroad and local county thoroughfares. The 1980s terrain is heavily defined by energy extraction, with extensive activity across the Collinsville Oil Field and South Dove Oil Field. The eastern portion of the map showcases the drainage patterns of Jordan Creek and Hog Creek as they move through the rolling prairie toward the Isle du Bois Creek bottomlands.

Rural life is marked by several long-standing community centers including Shady Grove and churches such as Salem 2 Ch and Concord Ch. Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds and community cemeteries, such as Herod-Morris Cem, Tuck Cem, and Ragsdale Cem, many of which sit adjacent to the winding banks of Timber Creek. To the west, the development of Lake Kiowa indicates the shift toward recreational land use alongside traditional ranching and oil production.
