1969 Map of Royston

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The community of Royston serves as the focal point for this section of West Texas, appearing as a modest junction during a period of significant regional energy development. Surveyed in the late 1960s with updates reaching into the early 1980s, the landscape is defined by the heavy presence of oil fields, where numerous wells and pipelines crisscross the terrain. This industrial infrastructure is superimposed over an older agricultural and ranching grid, indicated by the fine red dashed lines that delineate selected fence lines throughout the quadrangle. The intersection of these two economies—traditional ranching and modern petroleum extraction—characterizes the area's development during this era. Rural life remains anchored by scattered roadside features and local landmarks that provide essential orientation for researchers tracing the mid-century evolution of Fisher County.
