1960 Map of Wizard Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Wizard Wells sits at the heart of this North Texas landscape, a community once renowned for its mineral waters. By the mid-20th century, the map reveals a town and its surrounding rural character defined by small homesteads, the Wizard Wells Ch, and several family burial grounds including Wizard Wells Cem and McDaniel Cem. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Bridgeport, which flooded the local topography up to the Spillway Elev 825 mark. The terrain is marked by distinctive drainages and high points like Bear Knob and the rugged Devils Den. An Abandoned Railroad Grade winding through Vineyard towards the county line reflects the shifting transportation patterns of Jack and Wise counties as the regional rail economy gave way to oil and gas exploration.
