1962 Map of Back

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Gas and Oil Field of the Texas Panhandle dominates this early 1960s landscape, where dozens of individual gas wells and miles of Pipeline cross the terrain of Gray and Wheeler Counties. The survey reveals an industrial network integrated into the rural geography, featuring a notable Aboveground Pipeline and specialized sites like a Claypit and Disposal Well. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by McClellan Creek, Hackberry Spring, and seasonal drainages such as Saye Draw and North Long Dry Creek. Settlements are sparse but distinctive, ranging from the community of Kellerville in the northeast to the remote station at Back and the Heald Ch near the southern boundary. This map provides a clear record of the mid-century energy infrastructure and the family landmarks that defined this high plains region.
