1964 Map of Loving
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Ligon Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells dominate this mid-century view of Young County, Texas. This landscape represents the industrial character of North Texas during the early 1960s, where rural ranching and energy extraction exist side by side. The settlement of Loving sits in the southeast corner, while the small communities of Farmer and Jean are situated further north and west. Water sources like Little Salt Creek and Brushy Creek cut through the terrain, providing essential drainage for the region. Genealogists may find the Hawkins Chapel Cem and a single marked Grave particularly valuable for family research. The presence of a local Refinery and a dedicated Landing Strip near Farmer highlights the specialized infrastructure developed to support the local petroleum industry and remote transport.
