1966 Map of Murray

About this map

Oil Field operations define the landscape along the Throckmorton Co Young Co border during the mid-1960s. The small settlement of Murray serves as a local hub near where the North Fork Fish Creek and other tributaries wind through the terrain. Evidence of local industry is scattered across the sheet, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit positioned between the drainage systems of East Kings Creek and Huffstuttle Creek. To the south, the name Coffee Flat suggests a pocket of level ground, while Matthews Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark. The map's detail is enhanced by 1981 photorevisions, which update the woodland cover and road network, such as the path of Route 578, reflecting the area's continued reliance on resource extraction and cattle ranching.
