About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River snakes through this Texas landscape, forming a natural boundary near the town of Hawley. This area, updated with photorevisions into the late 1980s, reveals a mix of petroleum infrastructure and traditional ranching terrain. Industrial markers like the Cosden Refinery and various gravel operations sit alongside local landmarks such as the Hawley Cem and Mid Way Cem, offering essential data points for family historians.

Transportation networks define the region's growth, from the Burlington Northern railroad tracks to the Old Anson Road. Aviation history is noted by the presence of the Butterfield Trail Airfield and a dedicated Landing Strip further south. The map also captures the educational landscape of Jones County through the High Sch in town and the Hodges School to the west, providing a detailed record of the community's mid-century footprint.
