1963 Map of Allison SW

About this map

The Santa Fe And Panhandle railroad cuts a horizontal path across the northern landscape of Wheeler County, marking a primary corridor of transport in the Texas Panhandle during the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by a series of south-flowing drainage systems, most notably Goodin Creek and Coburn Creek, which carve through the plains. The presence of a Flowing Well and several Spring labels along Williams Creek indicate the critical importance of groundwater in this semi-arid ranching region. To the northeast, the land shifts toward Mulberry Draw as it crosses the boundary between Hemphill and Wheeler Counties. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit located near the western edge of the survey, likely supporting local road maintenance and infrastructure.
