1973 Map of Gum Springs

About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes converge across this East Texas territory, where a sprawling Oil Field dominates the central terrain north of Big Springs. The 1970s landscape is defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure, including numerous Oil Wells, gas wells, and pumping stations interspersed among the rolling timber and creek bottoms. The human history of the area is preserved in a significant collection of family-named burial grounds and local congregations, such as the Boatwright Cem and Sardis Ch near Pleasant Grove. Drainage for the region is provided by the winding Bowles Creek and Johnson Creek, while larger water bodies like Graham Lake and Ashby Lake offer distinct landmarks. Small communities like Stringtown and Good Springs serve as anchors for the rural road network, which connects scattered residences and roadside facilities such as the Roadside Park near the southern county line.
