1960 Map of Goodlow Park

About this map

Chambers Creek meanders through this portion of Navarro County, defining a landscape shaped by agricultural drainage and the early industrial footprint of the oil business. In the western reaches of the map, numerous Oil Wells and associated infrastructure like Sludge Pits dot the lowlands near the creek, signaling the extraction activity that historically fueled the local economy. Higher ground is occupied by established rural communities such as Round Prairie and Rural Shade, which sit along the road network connecting the larger settlement of Kerens to the surrounding countryside.
