1962 Map of Edgar

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The community of Edgar sits along the Southern Pacific rail line, serving as a focal point for this rural DeWitt County landscape during the early 1960s. The area is defined by its seasonal watercourses and drainage patterns, including Irish Creek and Little Brushy Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain near Petty Hollow. This map documents a transition from traditional agricultural land use to early petroleum exploration, evidenced by the presence of an Oil Field and a significant Pipeline corridor. Genealogists will find notable value in the distribution of community centers such as Mt Zion Ch and Leesville Ch, along with resting places like Evergreen Cem and Alexander Cem. The settlement of Stratton further illustrates the dispersed nature of local commerce and residency that characterized the region before later 20th-century developments shifted rural population centers.
