1963 Map of Lake San Tana

About this map

Santa Anna Mountains anchor the southern edge of this central Texas landscape, where the terrain drops toward the drainage basins of Jim Ned Creek and Hords Creek. The early 1960s economy of Coleman County is clearly visible through the extensive Hagler Oil Field and Coleman Junction North Oil Field, marked by numerous drill holes and oil wells interspersed with ranchland. Infrastructure for water management and transport is a primary theme, shown through Lake San Tana, Lake Sealy, and a complex network of pipelines and an aqueduct.
