2010 Map of Strawn East

About this map

Thurber, once a bustling company coal town, sits at the heart of this landscape alongside the Thurber Historic District. The industrial history of the region is written into the terrain, where Coal Mine Mountain and the Boles Rector Oil Field signal the extraction of natural resources that drove local development. The map details a series of settlements including Mingus, Strawn, and Gordon, connected by a network of ranch roads and geographic features like the South Fork Palo Pinto Creek. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points through numerous local burial grounds, such as McSpadden Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and Mount Marion Cemetery. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations including Steam Shovel Mountain and Italian Hill, while the local infrastructure is supported by several reservoirs, including Lake Mingus and Thurber Lake.
