1956 Map of Sloop Creek

About this map

The Vogtsberger Oil Field dominates this section of the Texas landscape, where a dense network of oil wells, pipelines, and a Compressor Station speak to the mid-century energy production in the region. Situated at the junction of Wichita and Archer Counties, the terrain transitions from the edges of Wichita Falls in the northwest to sprawling ranch lands. Notable family-run operations include the McGregor Ranch, Vogtsberger Ranch, and Cook Ranch, illustrating the large-scale livestock and land holdings that defined North Texas at this time.
