1961 Map of Hood

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Elm Fork Trinity River winds across this north-central Texas landscape, carving a valley defined by several small spillways and a network of seasonal tributaries like Tonkawa Creek and Spring Creek. In the early 1960s, this portion of Cooke County was defined by its dual economy of cattle ranching and petroleum extraction. The surface is crisscrossed by fence lines, while the subsurface is tapped by the Gruber Oil Field, Brewer Oil Field, and the Era Ellenburger Oil Field, showing the extensive reach of the local energy industry during this era. Small rural settlements serve as local anchors, including Myra along the Missouri Kansas Texas rail line, and the namesake hamlet of Hood. Genealogists will find critical landmarks such as Hood Cem, Reed Cem, and Era Cem, which offer physical links to the early families of this agricultural and oil-producing region.
