1958 Map of Springtown

About this map

Springtown and its surrounding countryside reflect a mid-century Texas landscape defined by petroleum production and livestock ranching. The Oil Field north of town is dotted with numerous Oil Wells, while the town center features a concentrated grid including the High Sch and several churches. To the south, the settlement at Veal Station is marked by a Historical Monument, preserving its legacy as one of the county's earliest pioneer hubs. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways like Walnut Creek, Browders Creek, and Woody Creek as they flow toward the Clear Fork Trinity River. Smaller rural communities such as Goshen and La Junta appear alongside family-named landmarks like the Bill Clark Cem and the prominent Tater Hill. This 1958 survey, updated with late-1970s revisions, tracks the gradual expansion of the Highland Addition as the area began to transition from a purely agricultural and oil-based economy.
