1973 Map of Barton Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The intersection of four Texas Panhandle counties—Ochiltree, Roberts, Lipscomb, and Hemphill—defines this 1970s landscape, where energy exploration and cattle ranching shape the terrain. The watershed of Barton Creek and its tributaries, including Gibson Creek and Morgan Creek, provides the primary drainage through a network of winding draws. The map documents the intensive development of natural resources during this era, marked by numerous Gas Wells and industrial infrastructure such as a Pumping Sta and various Drill Holes. While the land remains largely open, the presence of a Gravel Pit and several Gravel Pits alongside a primary road indicates the ongoing maintenance of the local transport network. This survey captures a specific moment in the energy history of the region, showing how Pipelines and access roads began to lace across the drainage of Buffalo Creek.
