1963 Map of Garfield

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The rural expanse of DeWitt County, Texas, is defined by its winding seasonal waterways and burgeoning energy landscape in the early 1960s. Ecleto Creek and Dry Ecleto Creek carve through the brushy terrain, which by this time was punctuated by numerous Gas Wells and an Oil Well, signaling the region's industrial shift. The small settlement of Garfield and the location of Old Davy serve as primary anchors for local history and genealogy, reflecting the dispersed nature of South Texas ranching communities. Fine red dashed lines throughout the survey delineate property fence lines, offering a rare look at land division patterns of the era. Cultural landmarks like the Salt Creek Cem and a prominent Radio Tower provide fixed points for researchers tracing the development of this section of the DeWitt and Karnes County border.
