1964 Map of Senate

About this map

The small community of Senate serves as the focal point for this rural Jack County landscape, captured during a period of steady petroleum and agricultural activity. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent watercourses, including North Creek, Henderson Creek, and the winding Salt Creek. Genealogists will find notable value in the recorded locations of Winn Hill Cem and Cottonwood Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like Bethany Ch and the Mountain Home Missionary Ch. Evidence of the region's industrial transitions is clear, with numerous Oil Well sites dotting the hills near Tater Hill and an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the central plains. This 1964 survey, with updates from the late 1970s, preserves the footprint of a North Texas ranching and oil-patch economy before further consolidation and modernization changed the local character.
