1963 Map of Yorktown East

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the western edge of this DeWitt County landscape, passing through Yorktown as the primary industrial artery. This early 1960s survey captures a rural Texas economy transitioning from traditional farming to energy extraction, evidenced by the development of the Yorktown Gas Field, the Holly Oil Field, and the Brandt Oil Field. A series of creeks, including Twelvemile Creek, Yorktown Creek, and Hoosier Creek, drain the territory, carving a pattern of wooded breaks through the cultivated fields.
