1966 Map of Ady

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Canadian River cuts through this portion of the Texas Panhandle, defining a landscape of deep draws and canyons in the mid-1960s. The Fort Worth and Denver railroad runs parallel to the river's southern bank, serving the small settlement of Ady and the sprawling operations of the LS Ranch. The terrain is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for cattle ranching, including named tanks and springs like Rheumatism Tank, Lost Tubs Springs, and Granite Tubs Spring. This era shows a working ranching landscape where topographical features like Rock Canyon and Eagle Canyon were punctuated by Parker and House windmills. The boundary between Oldham and Potter counties bisects the survey, marking the transition from the river valley to the upland plains where the Division Pens Spring and Eagle Camp supported local livestock operations.
