About this map

The tiny settlement of Senate serves as a quiet center in this 1964 survey of north Texas, where the economy was shaped by the Pacific and Rock Island rail line. The landscape is a mix of agricultural pasture and oil extraction, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and a Pumping Sta scattered among the drainage of North Creek and West Salt Creek. Cultural landmarks such as Mountain Home Missionary Ch and the Bethany Ch highlight the area's rural social centers.

Local history is preserved at family and community sites like Winn Hill Cem and Cottonwood Cem, providing concrete points of interest for genealogists. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade in the northeast corner suggests the shifting transportation networks of the early 20th century. Terrain features like Winn Hill and Tater Hill rise above the creek beds, anchoring the varied topography of this Jack County landscape.
