1962 Map of Green Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Colorado River carves a sharp path across the northern reaches of this West Texas landscape, where the rugged terrain transitions from the high elevations of Green Mountain and Shaggy Peak into deep-cut drainage systems. In the early 1960s, this section of Coke County was defined by its dual identity as ranching country and an active petroleum frontier. The Millican Oil Field and Lygay Oil Field are prominent across the central and northern sections, marked by numerous drill holes and oil wells that dot the hillsides. Local community life is anchored at the Green Mountain Community Center and the Pecan Ch near the banks of North Pecan Creek. Genealogical interest is found in isolated sites like the Terry Cem, while the industrial footprint of the era is evident in the scattered gravel pits and extensive fence lines that partition the arid draws and mesas.
