1971 Map of Freer North

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Government Wells Field and the Seven Sisters Oil Field define this South Texas landscape, where a dense network of pipelines and pumping stations reflects the region's intensive petroleum production in the early 1970s. The town of Freer serves as the primary hub in the southwest corner, showing a detailed layout including the High Sch, Hospital, and a local Drive-in Theater near the Landing Strip. Cultural landmarks like the Hahl Memorial Cem provide touchpoints for local genealogists, while the terrain is marked by the drainages of Government Wells Creek and Tarancahuas Creek. This survey captures the height of the mid-century oil boom's infrastructure, from the Loma Novia Field to the scattered settlements like Walker, illustrating how energy extraction shaped the settlement patterns and road networks of Duval County.
