About this map

The town of Olney dominates the northeastern corner of this 1964 survey, revealing a post-war landscape defined by petroleum extraction and community infrastructure. Detailed street-level mapping shows the layout of Main and Oak streets, alongside essential institutions like Hamilton Hospital and the local High Sch. The surrounding terrain is a mosaic of active resource management, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and the extensive Larimore Oil Field to the south.

Transport and water resources are clearly delineated, from the Olney Municipal Airport with its prominent Tower to the drainage networks of Mud Creek and California Creek. Evidence of earlier infrastructure remains visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the landscape. Further south, the map captures the transition to more varied terrain near Skid Mtn and the Orth Cemetery, providing a comprehensive view of the interplay between Texas ranching country and the mid-century energy boom.
