About this map

Maryneal serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, positioned at a junction of rail and road during the late 1960s. The settlement's infrastructure is closely tied to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which bisects the quadrangle and supports local industrial activity including a Quarry and numerous Gravel Pits. To the west of the town site, the Maryneal Cem and a prominent Radio Tower mark the high ground above the drainage basins.

The eastern half of the map reveals a shift toward resource extraction, specifically within the designated Oil Field. This area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Bear Creek and Robertson Creek, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of local aviation history is preserved at the John Adams Landing Area, while the southern reaches are dominated by the winding path of Eagle Creek, illustrating the remote and industrial character of the Nolan County backcountry during this era.
