1961 Map of Selma

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Selma sits at the junction of several county lines in the early 1960s, serving as a focal point for this rural North Texas landscape. The northeastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Amon G Carter, where the terrain drops to meet the reservoir's controlled inundation levels. Evidence of the region's energy economy is clear through the presence of the Bowie SW Oil Field and various Oil Well symbols scattered across the hills. Numerous watercourses, including Big Sandy Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Venchoner Creek, carve through the wooded topography. Local history is anchored by the Selma Cem and Crafton Cem, while several county boundaries converge in the west and south, including a rare tri-point where Clay, Jack, and Montague Counties meet. This era is further defined by the infrastructure of a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northwestern quadrant.
