1961 Map of Crafton

About this map

The Jack Co Wise Co line bisects this 1961 rural landscape, where the northern waters of Lake Bridgeport meet the winding course of the West Fork Trinity River. The settlement of Crafton serves as a small hub in the northeast corner, while Cundiff sits to the west along a straight roadway that cuts through the rolling terrain. This area, largely defined by ranching and oil exploration, is marked by numerous scattered Oil Wells and a dense network of drainage creeks, including Big Cottonwood Creek and Big Sandy Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves specific points of interest such as the Thomas Norwood Cem and the prominent elevation of Bear Knob, alongside several unnamed Cem locations that provide a record of early community life before later development.
