1965 Map of Turkey Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Deaton Mountain and the Twin Mountains dominate this 1960s landscape in Erath County, where the terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage network. The map reveals a rural Texas environment defined by its watercourses, including the meandering paths of Barton Creek, Sunday Creek, and Turkey Creek. This era of the mid-twentieth century shows the integration of industrial infrastructure within the cattle-country landscape, evidenced by a prominent Pipeline and multiple gas wells scattered across the hills. For those researching local families and old community centers, the map identifies small but significant sites like Russel Chapel Cem, Liberty Cem, and the uniquely named X Ray Cem. Small industrial footprints such as a Gravel Pit near Hannibal Creek suggest local resource extraction during this period of development.
