About this map

Springtown Oil Field dominates the northern landscape of this Parker County region, illustrating the post-war energy development that shaped North Texas. The settlement of Springtown serves as the central hub, where the High Sch and residential blocks meet a network of rural roads. To the south, the landscape becomes more varied, defined by the winding paths of Walnut Creek and Woody Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the smaller, outlying communities like Goshen and Veal Station, which include the Goshen Cem and a Historical Monument at the site of the old station. The map also captures family-named landmarks such as the Bud Clark Cem and distinctive terrain features like Tater Hill and Hangmans Hollow. These details, alongside numerous Gravel Pits, provide a clear picture of a rural economy transitioning between traditional ranching and modern industrial extraction.
