1961 Map of Maverick

About this map

The Colorado River meanders through the central terrain of this early 1960s survey, marking a distinct boundary between Coke and Runnels counties. The small settlement of Maverick serves as a focal point for local history, supported by the Maverick Cem and Castleberry Cem. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where Oak Creek and Juniper Creek feed into the primary river channel, and a significant Pipeline cuts across the northern cattle and ranch land. In the northwest, the community of Norton and its associated Norton Cem stand near a scatter of oil production sites, including an Oil Well, illustrating the era's reliance on both agriculture and petroleum. To the south, the Brookshier Ch remains a notable landmark along the rural roads, representing the social core of this sparsely populated ranching region.
