1961 Map of Salona

About this map

The community of Salona sits at a crossroads in southwestern Montague County, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by rolling hills and petroleum exploration during the early 1960s. This survey reveals a deeply local geography of small settlements and family history, anchored by sites like Denver Sch and the Denver Cem. The terrain is etched by the intricate drainage of Denton Creek and Mallard Creek, which carve through the prominent Dry Valley. Industrial activity is evident in the Mueller Oil Field and Mallard Field, where numerous oil wells dot the countryside alongside a major gas Pipeline. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered burial grounds, including the Mitchell Cem, Mallard Cem, and Jackson Cem, which mark the generational roots of these rural Texas communities.
