1961 Map of Crafton

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Crafton and Cundiff anchor this early 1960s survey of the rolling borderlands between Jack and Wise counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Fork Trinity River, which flows into the northern reaches of Lake Bridgeport. This era shows a rural Texas economy transitioning through the development of petroleum and water resources, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and a Pumping Sta near the riverbanks. Local history is preserved in family landmarks like the Thomas Norwood Cem and prominent terrain features such as Bear Knob. The drainage network is particularly dense, with Big Cottonwood Creek, Elm Creek, and Pecan Branch carving through the territory. These waterways and the network of unimproved roads provide a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns before significant modern expansion altered the character of the river valley.
