1965 Map of McCaulley

About this map

McCaulley serves as the primary hub of this West Texas landscape, positioned at a significant junction of the Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railroad. The map illustrates a mid-century economy built on a combination of industrial extraction and agriculture, with a notable Strip Mine and the Celotex plant site located just north of the town center. To the west, the community of Reynolds and the Swedonia Cem provide important reference points for genealogists tracing family roots in the area. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding paths of California Creek and Dry California Creek, which feed into local reservoirs like Plasterco Lake and West Lake. These water features, alongside scattered Oil Well sites and a local Golf Course near Hamlin, reveal the diverse land use patterns characterizing the transition from rangeland to industrial utility during the 1960s.
