About this map

Pinkerton anchors this stretch of West Texas, appearing here at a time when the rural landscape was defined by an extensive grid of county roads and local oil production. The settlement is marked by significant local history sites, including the Pinkerton Cemetery and the nearby Rule Cemetery, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Haskell County.

Industry and natural features are tightly woven into the terrain, most notably through the Sojourner Oil Field located east of the central crossroads. The drainage pattern is dictated by several seasonal watercourses such as Mule Creek, North Mule Creek, and Rice Springs Branch, which lead toward the localized basin of Bitter Lake. The map demonstrates a landscape transition where traditional ranching and farming infrastructure coexist with the region's energy development.
