1960 Map of Lake Scarborough

About this map

Lake Scarborough serves as a central hydrological landmark in this northern Coleman County landscape, where the Spillway and the Coleman Filtration Plant manage the local water supply. The map captures a mid-century period of energy extraction and utility development, characterized by the Anz Morris Oil Field and various Oil Wells scattered across the undulating terrain. A distinct network of drainage basins, including Turtle Bayou, Ned Creek, and Indian Creek, defines the natural topography. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by a local Landing Strip and a Pipeline cutting through the western portion of the quadrangle. Significant landmarks like Buck Hollow provide traditional geographic orientation amidst the industrial activity of the Texas oil patch during this era of post-war growth.
