1965 Map of Throckmorton NE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Bush Knob rises above the rolling drainage basin of the Texas ranchlands in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of North Elm Creek, Elm Creek, and Bush Knob Creek, which dictate the local topography. Human influence on the land is marked by an extensive network of petroleum extraction, with numerous Oil Wells and Oil Well sites scattered throughout the territory. Evidence of former transportation infrastructure appears in the southwest corner where an Old RR Grade cuts across the terrain, indicating a bypass or removal of rail service by the time this map was field-checked in 1965. Local travelers along the state route would have found rest at the Roadside Park, a small island of public space amidst the private ranching and oil operations of the era.
