1958 Map of Frelsburg

About this map

Frelsburg serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey of northern Colorado County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Cummins Creek and a network of productive petroleum tracts. The map illustrates a rural Texas economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern industrial extraction, prominently featuring the Frelsburg Oil Field and the Columbus Oil Field. Local community life is rooted in landmarks like the St Peter and Paul Sch and the Zimmerscheidt Community Center, while the presence of Kaiser Cem offers a point of interest for those researching local family lineages.
