1959 Map of Poolville

About this map

Poolville and Agnes anchor this late 1950s landscape across the Wise and Parker County line, where a complex network of man-made reservoirs and petroleum infrastructure defines the local geography. The central region is dominated by the Toto Gas Field, illustrating the post-war energy boom that reshaped this portion of North Texas. Numerous small lakes, labeled numerically from Res No 4 through Res No 15, are distributed along the drainage of the Clear Fork Trinity River and its tributaries like Gourdneck Branch and Cottonwood Creek. Local heritage is preserved in the location of the Erwin Cem and Dilbeck Cem, alongside rural congregations at Union Ch and Central Ch. The terrain is punctuated by distinct elevations such as Skeen Peak, Indian Knob, and Buck Knob, providing a clear view of the natural topography before modern expansion further altered the countryside.
