1964 Map of Fisk

About this map

Home Creek and its many winding tributaries define the rural landscape of central Texas in the early 1960s. The small settlement of Fisk serves as a local hub for the surrounding ranching and petroleum country, evidenced by the presence of the Overall Oil Field, Burba Oil Field, and the Davis Bell Oil Field. These energy operations are interspersed among traditional community landmarks like Harmony Ch and the Brown Ranch Cem, which reflect the area's genealogical roots. The terrain is marked by significant watercourse systems including Red Bank Creek and Crooked Creek, which feed into the primary drainages of Bull Creek and Anna Santa Creek. This survey captures the transition from pure ranchland to an active petroleum-producing region, showing the network of pipelines and fence lines that crisscross the Coleman County landscape.
