About this map

California Creek winds through this West Texas landscape along the border of Haskell and Jones counties, anchoring a rural environment defined by mid-century ranching and resource extraction. The map documents the infrastructure of a working agrarian economy, from the Cotton Gin south of Dodge to the Gravel Pit and Oil Field operations scattered across the plains.

Transport and community roots are clearly marked by the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line cutting through the southwest corner and the presence of localized spiritual and memorial sites. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the Bethel Ch and its accompanying Bethel Cem, as well as the Pleasant Valley Cem located further north. This 1965 survey also identifies Arledge Field, providing a precise look at aviation and industry in the region before modern expansion.
