1965 Map of Abell
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path across this High Plains landscape, anchoring the small settlements of Abell and Pomeroy. This mid-1960s survey reveals a region defined by its industrial and energy resources, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the terrain. The northern portion of the sheet is characterized by the complex drainage of West Dixon Creek and Middle Dixon Creek, which carve through the plains. In the southwest corner, the presence of a Military Reservation and the nearby Pantex Lake indicates the area's strategic significance during the Cold War era. Beyond the rail and energy infrastructure, the land is marked by extractive industries, including several Quarries and a Sandpit, alongside a network of regional roads like 207 and 1342 that connect these remote Texas Panhandle outposts.
