1966 Map of Proffitt

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through this portion of Young County, defining the fertile lowlands of Johnson Bottom and the steep elevation of Deer Head Bluff. The landscape is a study in Texas resource extraction and transit history, marked by an extensive Oil Field in the northeast and scattered Oil Wells throughout the southern hills. Transportation patterns are anchored by an Old Railroad Grade running north toward Newcastle, showing the infrastructure of an earlier industrial era. In the west, the small community of Proffitt serves as a local hub near Proffitt Cem, while Woolfolk Cem sits further east near the river's bend. This 1966 survey, with 1981 revisions, documents the rural transition of north-central Texas, where family cemeteries and old cattle-country landmarks like Round Mound persist alongside the modern developments of the petroleum industry and a municipal Sewage Disposal site.
