1969 Map of Eskota

About this map

Eskota and Palava anchor this 1960s landscape along the Fisher and Nolan County line. The area is defined by a significant transportation and industrial network, with the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads traversing the southern section near Sweetwater Creek. These rail lines supported local extractive industries, evidenced by a Strip Mine and various Gravel Pits scattered near the watercourses. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Kildooquin Creek, Bitter Creek, and Cottonwood Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of rural life is visible at the Cem near Palava, while benchmarks like Teetle and BM 1979 provide specific elevation points for surveyors and genealogists tracking land parcels in this part of West Texas.
