1972 Map of Sunshine Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The rugged Sunshine Hill landscape in northern Texas is defined by a dense network of petroleum extraction and strategic water management. In the early 1970s, the extensive Oil Field dominates the central terrain, with countless Oil Wells scattered across the drainages of Cole Creek and Long Creek. The presence of Tenth Cavalry Creek in the northeast hints at the region's historic military frontier associations, while the border with Tillman County, Oklahoma, is marked by the winding path of the Red River. To the south, the Fort Worth and Denver railroad serves the small settlement of Fowlkes, providing a critical link for the area's industrial output. The engineering of the North Fork Buffalo Creek Reservoir reflects mid-century efforts to stabilize water resources in this arid environment, creating a distinct recreational and utility hub near the local Campground.
