About this map

Jim Ned Creek meanders through this portion of the Texas heartland, where the 1966 aerial photography captures a landscape transitioning between agricultural ranching and petroleum development. The map prominently features Lake Coleman, showing the controlled inundation areas and spillways along the creek's course. Evidence of the local energy economy is widespread, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the Oil Field across both Callahan and Coleman counties.

Small-scale rural infrastructure is visible near the settlement of Novice, including a Water Tank and a local Cem. The drainage patterns of the region are meticulously documented, following Mc Ewen Draw and Clear Creek as they feed into the larger Jim Ned system. Notable local landmarks like Honey Cr and Long Hollow provide essential context for researchers tracing family land tracts or early mineral leases in this central Texas territory.
