1973 Map of Price

About this map

The East Texas Oil Field dominates this Rusk County landscape, where the infrastructure of a massive petroleum economy is laid bare. Pumping stations, pipelines, and a Gas Plant are interspersed among established rural settlements like New London and Joinerville. This 1970s survey captures the region decades after the initial oil boom, showing how industry and local life became permanently entwined. In Turnertown (Selman City PO) and Price, the map reveals a dense network of secondary roads and family-named landmarks that speak to the area's mid-century growth.
