1964 Map of Eldorado NE

About this map

South Concho River headwaters and a network of dry drainage basins like Whitten Draw define this portion of the Edwards Plateau in Schleicher County. The landscape in the mid-1960s was dominated by energy extraction and transport, evidenced by the Hulldale Oil Field and Eldorado Canyon Gas Field, alongside a prominent north-south Pipeline. Human settlement and travel infrastructure are concentrated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. Notable local landmarks for genealogists and researchers include a small Cem and a Roadside Park located near the tracks. The map also meticulously records ranching boundaries with fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines, providing a detailed record of land use and property divisions during this era.
