1956 Map of Amarillo East

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Amarillo is depicted at a moment of significant mid-century expansion, with the 1967 purple-tinted revisions showing substantial urban growth into the surrounding plains. The city's northern landscape is anchored by recreation and social institutions like the Ross Rogers Golf Course and Thompson Park, while the central areas reveal a dense network of schools such as Palo Duro High Sch and Robert E Lee Sch. A massive convergence of rail infrastructure dominates the eastern geography, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific lines cross near the Stockyards. To the south, aviation and industry define the skyline with Tradewind Airport and the Palo Duro Airport situated near a Refinery and Oil Tanks. This map captures the shift from a traditional rail hub to a modern automotive city, evidenced by the developing highway corridors passing near the National Guard Armory and Amarillo College.
