1960 Map of Gibtown

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Gibtown and its neighboring rural communities are captured here in the early 1960s, a landscape where early settlement patterns are still clearly visible alongside mid-century petroleum development. The intersection of three North Texas counties—Jack, Wise, and Parker—creates a complex network of approximate boundaries and indefinite boundaries that crisscross the drainage basins of Boons Creek and Elm Pool Creek. The presence of an Old RR Grade south of Westbrook and numerous oil and gas wells suggests a transition from the rail-dependent cattle and cotton era to the rising energy economy. Genealogists can locate legacy sites including Fairview Cem, Willow Point Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, while topographic landmarks like Armstrong Mountain and Wampler Hill define the local horizon. The map also details a prominent Pipeline and a local Spillway, reflecting the infrastructure of the period.
