1968 Map of Coon Hollow

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a deep path near several smaller tributaries like Salt Creek and Coon Hollow. In the late 1960s, the region's economy was clearly defined by resource extraction and aviation. The Frankirk Oil Field is a prominent feature in the southeast, characterized by several oil wells and drill holes, while multiple Gravel Pits dot the northern hills near Eagle Hill. Local community life is anchored by family-named landmarks such as Johnson Ch and Johnson Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogical research. The presence of the Aspermont Landing Field and a nearby golf course suggests a hub of activity just outside the immediate town center, where transportation and recreation met the rugged terrain of West Texas.
