1967 Map of Indian Mountain

About this map

Indian Mountain and a cluster of neighboring summits dominate this 1960s landscape at the intersection of Young, Jack, and Palo Pinto counties. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief, from the heights of Cement Mountain and Shin Oak Mountain down to the southern shoreline of Possum Kingdom Lake. This era shows a landscape undergoing industrial change, with a network of pipelines and numerous Oil Wells scattered across the valleys, including the Ross Valley Creek and Connor Creek drainages. Genealogy researchers can locate the Center Ridge Cem in the northwest and another Cem near the confluence of Rock Creek and Dillingham Creek. The map documents a rugged rural interior where traditional landmarks like Pitts Mountain coexist with mid-century infrastructure like Radio Towers and a local Gas Plant.
