1965 Map of Lusk

About this map

The Brazos River meanders through this North Texas landscape, joined by the Clear Fork in a region defined by its rugged watercourses and petroleum potential. Recorded during a mid-1960s survey, the map shows the small community of Lusk situated near the intersection of Throckmorton, Stephens, and Shackelford counties. The economy of the era is evidenced by numerous Drill Holes scattered across the northern sections and several Gravel Pits concentrated near the riverbanks. Infrastructure of the period includes a prominent Pipeline and a Pumping Sta located near the junction of several drainage systems, including Givens Creek and Kings Creek. A quiet Roadside Park along Highway 183 serves as a small waypoint for travelers navigating the rural terrain between Throckmorton and Breckenridge.
