About this map

Jacksboro serves as the focal point of this Jack County survey, which documents the town's evolution through the mid-20th century. The landscape is marked by the presence of significant civic and community infrastructure, including the County Hospital West, the National Guard Armory, and multiple educational sites such as the Jr High Sch and Linnie Shelton Sch. Outside the town center, the terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Lost Creek, Cleveland Creek, and the West Fork Keechi Creek.

Evidence of historical transportation and rural industry is visible in the Old RR Grade and scattered Oil Well locations across the countryside. For those researching family history, several burial grounds are recorded, notably Oakwood Cem, Raper Cem, and Dark Corner Cem. The southern reach of the map is dominated by the grounds of Fort Richardson State Park, highlighting the intersection of local history and public land use during this period of photorevision.
