1962 Map of Santa Anna

About this map

The Santa Anna Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Central Texas survey, providing a backdrop for the settlement of Santa Anna. In the 1960s, the local economy was visibly shaped by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and a sprawling network of energy extraction. This is evidenced by the numerous named petroleum zones, including the Santa Anna West Oil Field and the Santa Anna North (Marble Falls) Oil Field. Beyond the main town, the rural community of Cleveland is marked by the Cleveland Ch and several cemeteries, while the surrounding hills are punctuated by various Quarry and Gravel Pit operations. The drainage patterns of Mukewater Creek and Sweetie Creek illustrate the watershed of the Rolling Plains as it stood before modern development.
