1972 Map of Fellsburg

About this map

Fellsburg serves as the central hub for this high plains landscape in Edwards County, where the grid of sections is etched across townships including Franklin, Lincoln, and the split divisions of North Brown and South Brown. A notable historical line, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts diagonally through the southern portion of the quadrangle, intersecting the winding course of Rattlesnake Creek. The 1970s economy is clearly visible through numerous energy extraction sites, including various Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the fields. Beyond the town center and the Fellsburg Cem, the map is dominated by an extensive network of pipelines, illustrating the region's role in industrial transport. This survey also records the specific locations of a Drill Hole and several isolated wells, providing a detailed record for those tracing local land use or family farm boundaries.
