1963 Map of Allison SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The borderlands between Hemphill Co and Wheeler Co are characterized by a rugged network of drainage systems feeding into the eastern Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the incision of Goodin Creek, Coburn Creek, and Williams Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the southeast. This 1963 survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, where transportation is anchored by the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad corridor crossing the northern reaches. Settlement remains sparse, with the Zybach Cem serving as a primary genealogical landmark for the local community. The presence of a Flowing Well and several springs underscores the vital importance of groundwater in this semi-arid ranching country, while a solitary Gravel Pit indicates small-scale local industry focused on road building or maintenance along the county line.
