1966 Map of Vera

About this map

Vera serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1960s study of north-central Texas, situated along the southern edge of a landscape defined by the winding course of the South Wichita River. The terrain transitions sharply from the structured agricultural grid and ranching tracts in the south to the broken, deeply eroded canyonlands of the north. Significant topographical landmarks like Ignorant Ridge and the drainage of Mustang Creek dominate the northern half of the sheet, where the river's path is carved through heavy relief. This era of land use is marked by scattered water infrastructure, including various Wells and a specific Drill Hole in the northwest, alongside a local Cem near the town center. The presence of 267 and Route 82 indicates the established transportation corridors that connected this rural Knox County area to the broader region.
