About this map

Mineral Wells anchor the western edge of this 1980s-era survey, where the urban grid meets the undulating terrain of the Palo Pinto and Parker County line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Rock Creek and the expansion of the Lake Mineral Wells State Park. This period marks the transition of the former military infrastructure at Wolters Village into a civilian residential and educational hub, including the Weatherford College West Campus.

To the east, the map details the smaller communities of Sturdivant, Cool, and Millsap, interconnected by a network of drainage systems like Dry Creek and Pollard Creek. Significant industrial and transportation landmarks are present, such as the Mineral Wells Airport and its associated Heliport, alongside the municipal Filtration Plant. The topography is marked by distinct elevations such as West Mtn, East Mtn, and Duke Mountain, providing a clear view of the north-central Texas geography before modern suburban sprawl.
