1968 Map of Nocona

About this map

The town of Nocona serves as the focal point of this North Texas survey, characterized by its grid of streets and municipal landmarks like the South Ward School, Hospital, and Nocona Airport. To the east, the landscape transitions into the rolling hills and creek beds that feed into the expansive Nocona Lake, where several local family cemeteries such as Keck Cem and Eagle Point Cem are preserved along the shoreline. The era's infrastructure is clearly marked by the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a network of pipelines and an Aqueduct cutting through the terrain. From the heights of Blue Mound and Benton Hill, the map reveals a rural economy shifting between traditional ranching and newer developments, with numerous oil wells and pits dotted across the countryside between Panther Creek and Farmers Creek.
