1963 Map of Yorktown West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Yorktown and Nordheim anchor this landscape during a period of transition for the DeWitt County countryside. The area is characterized by an extensive network of petroleum and gas production, including the Roeder Oil Field, the Christmas Oil Field, and the Henze Gas Field, alongside traditional ranching and farming lands. An Old Railroad Grade suggests the evolution of local transportation, cutting a diagonal path through the terrain toward the settlement at Nordheim. Local life centers around rural institutions like the High School in Yorktown and the Westside Cemetery on the town's western edge. The drainage patterns of Manahuilla Creek and Cabeza Creek define the southern reaches of the map, while small pockets of industry are evidenced by various Gravel Pits and a rural Landing Strip, providing a clear look at the mid-century infrastructure of this South Texas region.
