1961 Map of Era SE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Plainview serves as a central landmark in this 1961 Texas survey, situated among the rolling divides of the Hickory Creek watershed. The landscape is defined by the convergence of North Hickory Creek and South Hickory Creek, which carve distinct drainage patterns across the terrain. To the northeast, the Bolivar Oil Field indicates the localized reach of the petroleum industry, evidenced by several scattered Oil Wells near the banks of Clear Creek. This map reveals a rural economy dependent on both ranching and natural resources, with prominent property boundaries indicated by fine red dashed lines and water management features like a Water Tank and several small branches including Burns Branch and Boom. It is a precise record of the Denton County countryside before significant modern development altered these traditional drainage and property lines.
