1961 Map of Era SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Plainview sits as the central point of interest in this North Texas landscape, where the rural character of Denton County is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses. The map traces the winding paths of North Hickory Creek and South Hickory Creek as they meander toward the east, while Clear Creek cuts through the northeastern corner. This 1961 survey, which includes updates from 1976, illustrates a transition in land use as traditional ranching and farming infrastructure is joined by energy development. The presence of the Bolivar Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells in the northeast indicates the subsurface economic drivers of the era, while a small Landing Strip and a Water Tank denote the essential utility and private transportation needs of this sparsely populated cattle country.
