1959 Map of Silver

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Jameson Strawn Oil Field and Mc Cabe Oil Field dominate the landscape of this west Texas region, illustrating a mid-century petroleum economy defined by extensive pipelines and a refinery. The settlement of Silver sits near the base of Silver Peak, serving as a focal point amidst a network of private roads and industrial sites. To the south, the Colorado River winds through the terrain, with Rough Creek and Willman Sand Creek feeding into the drainage basin. Genealogists will find the McKenzie Cem, Cedar Hill Cem, and another unnamed Cemetery located near the riverbank. This 1959 survey, updated with 1980s revisions, captures the intersection of rugged geological features like Stepp Mountain and Jackson Mtn with the intensive infrastructure of the Texas oil industry.
