2013 Map of Selma

About this map

Selma sits at the edge of the northwestern reaches of Lake Amon G Carter in Montague County, defined by a landscape of creek drainages and petroleum production. The map illustrates a rural Texas environment where energy extraction and agriculture intersect, notably at the Bowie Southwest Oil Field and various lease roads such as Oilfield Lease Road. Local history is anchored by the Selma Cem and Crafton Cem, while the hydrologic network is dominated by Big Sandy Cr and Cottonwood Cr flowing toward the reservoir. Distinctive local road names like Bugscuffle Rd, Frog Hollard Rd, and Hanging Tree Rd suggest the cultural texture of the region. The map also identifies water management efforts, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir, which helps regulate the local tributaries feeding into the larger lake system.
