1960 Map of Webbville

About this map

Pecan Bayou and its many tributaries, including Little Pecan Bayou and Rocky Branch, dominate this West Texas landscape along the border of Coleman and Callahan counties. The map captures a unique moment in local administrative history, explicitly noting that the Coleman-Callahan County line is in dispute, referencing surveying efforts dating back to 1888. The small settlement of Webbville sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while the western portion shows significant resource extraction at the Anzah Morris Oil Field. Scattered Oil Wells and the Adams Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and industrial historians tracing the mid-century development of the region. The terrain is defined by drainage patterns like Wolf Hollow and Live Oak Branch, showing the rural character of the area before modern expansion.
