About this map

Springtown and the surrounding Parker County countryside are defined by a mix of early Texas settlement history and mid-century industrial development. The Springtown Oil Field dominates the northwest, evidenced by numerous wells, a Pumping Sta, and a Gas Plant. To the south, the community of Veal Station is marked by a Historical Monument, signaling its local significance alongside other small established centers like Goshen and Carter.

The landscape is etched by a complex drainage system including Walnut Creek, Woody Creek, and Ash Creek. Evidence of local industry is scattered throughout in the form of numerous Gravel Pit sites. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by the High Sch in the center of town and rural congregations at Highland Ch. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Goshen Cem and the family-named Bill Clark Cem near the southern boundary.
