About this map

The Santa Anna Mountains dominate the landscape of Coleman County in the early 1960s, providing a distinctive backdrop for the town of Santa Anna. This survey documents a community tied to both the land and the subsurface, where the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad skirts the southern edge of the mountains, connecting the local economy to broader markets. The town's infrastructure is clearly delineated, featuring a High Sch, an Athletic Field, and several residential blocks north of the rail line.

Energy extraction is the defining industrial characteristic of the region, with extensive petroleum developments such as the Santa Anna West Oil Field and the Santa Anna (Breneke) Oil Field surrounding the town. Farther south, the rural character persists near Cleveland Ch and along the banks of Home Creek, where the land is marked by numerous Gravel Pits and winding waterways like Mukewater Creek and Sweetie Creek.
