1964 Map of Dale

About this map

The Lytton Springs Oil Field and Dale Oil Field dominate this Caldwell County landscape, showing the dense network of roads and well sites that defined the local economy by the mid-1960s. The settlement of St John Colony sits in the northern portion of the map, anchored by St John Ch, while the town of Dale serves as a central hub near the Dale Cem. The industrial footprint of the petroleum industry is juxtaposed with long-established rural institutions, including the St Lytton Sch and numerous family burying grounds like the Bunton Cem and Brite Cem.
