1969 Map of Roscoe

About this map

Roscoe serves as a critical rail junction in West Texas, where the Missouri Pacific meets the Roscoe Snyder and Pacific. The town center is densely plotted around a local High Sch and an Athletic Field, with a network of rural routes like Jarratt Norris Road and Duncan Hastings Road extending into the surrounding plains. The landscape is defined by the extraction economy of the late twentieth century, showing an extensive Oil and Gas Field and numerous individual Oil Wells scattered across the terrain. To the north, the winding course of Cottonwood Creek provides a natural break in the geometric grid of Pipelines and section lines. Genealogists can locate the Roscoe Cem at the terminus of Cemetery Road, which stands as a significant landmark for local history research.
