1966 Map of Crowell

About this map

Crowell serves as the primary hub of this North Texas landscape, anchored by the infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cutting diagonally across the plains. Mapping from the mid-1960s reveals a community supported by local industry and public works, from the County Airfield east of town to the Sewage Disposal plant and nearby Substation. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding paths of Mule Creek and the branching segments of Beaver Creek, including Middle Beaver Creek. These waterways create distinct breaks in the agricultural grid, providing sites for local recreation like the Roadside Park. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint family-significant locations such as Crowell Cem, while evidence of resource extraction is found in a scattered Oil Well and Gravel Pit.
