1959 Map of Gordon

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Texas and Pacific rails cut through the heart of the Palo Pinto hills, connecting the industrial nodes of Strawn, Mingus, and Gordon. During the late 1950s, this region was defined by a complex landscape of energy extraction and small-scale agriculture. The presence of the Metcalf Gap Oil Field and scattered coal mines south of Gordon illustrates the dual reliance on fossil fuels that shaped local development.
