1967 Map of Tuscola
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The town of Tuscola sits at a critical junction of the Abilene and Southern and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, serving as a transit point in south-central Taylor County. This late-1960s landscape is defined by its transition from the agricultural flats to the prominent elevations of High Lonesome Mountain and Bald Eagle Mtn. The map documents the rural communities of Ovalo and Lawn, alongside significant water features like Jim Ned Creek and Red Bank Creek. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several markers, including the Lemons Gap Cem and McBee Cem. The presence of Abilene State Park and Camp Tonkawa in the northwest corner highlights the area's recreational geography, while numerous gravel pits and oil wells across the plains indicate the local extractive economy of the era.
