1961 Map of Dalton

Extractive industries are clearly visible through numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the farm fields, while the eastern edge toward North Lawrence shows signs of larger-scale operations with a Strip Mine and Mine Dump. Waterways like Newman Creek and Beaverdam Creek wind through the terrain, passing through small community clusters like Burton City and East Greenville. This map captures the mid-century transition as long-standing rural institutions remained prominent alongside growing energy exploration.
