1956 Map of Indian Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Indian Gap sits at the center of this 1950s rural landscape, where the borders of Comanche, Mills, and Hamilton counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cowhouse Creek and several prominent rises, including Cowhouse Mountain, Schoen Mtn, and Becker Mountain. This era shows a transition in land use, as traditional ranching and farming exist alongside the Pottsville Gas Field in the northeast and scattered Caliche Pits. Local genealogy is well-preserved through family-named landmarks and resting places such as the Spivey-Baxter Cemetery, St Johns Cem, and the burial site at Graves. The presence of the Land School and the curious label for a Marked Tree suggest a community oriented around established landmarks and small country school districts before the consolidation of the mid-20th century.
