About this map

The Clear Fork Brazos River winds through the borderlands of Jones and Shackelford Counties, defining a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and mid-century industry. The settlement of Lueders serves as a primary hub, accompanied by the nearby Lueders Encampment and the Lueders Cem. This area reveals a significant extractive economy, with extensive Oil Field operations and numerous quarries and gravel pits dotting the terrain.

Transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad and state highways, facilitating the movement of resources like those processed at the local Refinery. Waterways such as Pinto Creek, Post Oak Creek, and Hod Creek feed into the main river channel, while the prominent Bluff provides a distinct topographic break. For those tracing local heritage, the map preserves the location of Roadside Park and various water tanks that supported this rural Texas community during the 1960s.
