1967 Map of Eliasville

About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River snakes through the borderlands of Young and Stephens Counties, defining a landscape shaped by both hydrology and the petroleum industry. Near the settlement of Eliasville, the river’s course is controlled by structures like Humble Dam and Texas Dam, reflecting the mid-century infrastructure required for local resource management. The map reveals an intensive industrial footprint characterized by numerous Oil Wells and a Refinery, alongside vestiges of earlier transit such as an Old Railroad Grade. This industrial presence is balanced by quiet local landmarks like Hill Cem, Donnel Cem, and Yellow Fork Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracking family plots in this corner of North Texas. Tributaries such as Peach Creek and Lodge Creek carve through the terrain, further illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Brazos basin.
