1960 Map of Amarillo West

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The growing western edge of Amarillo is captured here at a moment of significant mid-century suburban expansion into the High Plains. While the city's residential grid pushes westward along Plains Blvd and Wolflin Ave, the landscape remains defined by the deep incisions of West Amarillo Creek and numerous small prairie basins. This survey documents a critical infrastructure network, featuring the prominent Aqueduct and the intersection of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Fort Worth and Denver (Burlington) railroads. Educational and community institutions like Tascosa High Sch, the Veterans Hospital, and the Kiwanis Camp appear alongside established recreation hubs such as the Amarillo Country Club and the Tascosa Country Club. This era shows a transition where traditional land use, including several Quarries, meets modern developments like the Drive-in Theater and residential districts like Avondale.
