About this map

The Talco Oil Field dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in East Texas. The town of Talco serves as the primary hub, where local infrastructure includes a High Sch, Water Tank, and the Talco Rodeo Ground. The map reveals a transition from these industrial and residential zones into the densely wooded bottomlands of White Oak Creek and Big Slough.

Evidence of historical transport and rural community life is scattered throughout the region, from the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain to the presence of Bridges Chapel and its associated Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Other smaller settlements like Maple Springs and family-named landmarks such as Belcher Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of Titus Co and Franklin Co.
