1961 Map of Selma

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lake Amon G. Carter dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding terrain near the settlement of Selma. The map documents a period of significant petroleum development, particularly within the Bowie SW Oil Field, where numerous oil wells are scattered across the drainage basins of Big Sandy Creek and Cottonwood Creek. This energy production exists alongside older rural foundations, marked by the presence of Selma Cem and Crafton Cem. The topography is defined by a dense network of waterways including Cowsert Creek, Venchoner Creek, and Herring Branch, which carved the complex ridgelines and valleys before the land reaches the community of Kiel. The survey also delineates the convergence of four county lines—Montague, Clay, Jack, and Wise—illustrating the jurisdictional complexity of this North Texas region.
