About this map

Muldoon serves as the central hub of this Fayette County survey, situated along the Southern Pacific railroad line. The landscape is a complex mix of agricultural drainage and resource extraction, characterized by the Muldoon Oil Field and scattered industrial activity including a Charcoal Oven and several Strip Mines. The rural character of the mid-1960s is preserved through the mapping of small settlements like Marly and local landmarks such as a Landing Area and a Gravel Pit.

Waterways like Buckners Creek, Oak Creek, and Live Oak Creek define the local topography, carving through the terrain toward the northern Prairie. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including Black Jack Springs Cem and Pitman Cem. While the primary survey dates to 1965, later revisions in the late 1970s highlight shifts in land use and vegetation, providing a layered view of this Texas crossroads during a period of steady transition.
