1969 Map of Poplar

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River carves a deep, winding path through this West Texas landscape, defining the topography of Kent and Scurry Counties. During the late 1960s, the small settlement of Polar served as the primary hub for this ranching and oil-producing region, situated near the Polar Cem and the extensive Connell Ranch. The map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources, with numerous Oil Wells and a significant Pipeline network crossing the varied terrain. Smaller drainage features like Schoolhouse Hollow, Joe Smith Draw, and Shin Hollow feed into the river valley, while larger tributaries such as McKenzie Creek and Cooper Creek provide structure to the surrounding plains. This era captures the area's rural character, where local landmarks and industry, such as Gravel Pits and isolated drill sites, are the primary indicators of human presence.
