1978 Map of Plainville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Saline River carves a winding path across this portion of northern Ellis County, defining a landscape where ranching and resource extraction meet. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the terrain transitions from the river valley to the elevated Buckeye region, characterized by numerous Oil Wells and a dedicated Oil Field that speak to the area's mid-century energy development. Local history is anchored by the St Andrew Ch and the nearby Cem, while further south, the Hyacinth Cem serves as a quiet marker of early settlement. Named landmarks like Kroeger and drainages such as East Spring Creek offer specific touchpoints for genealogists and researchers tracking family landholdings and the rural infrastructure of the High Plains during this era.
