1968 Map of Barwise

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Petersburg and its surrounding agricultural plains appear at a moment of mid-century growth along the Hale Co Floyd Co line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water wells and storage facilities supporting the local cotton and grain economy, with the Fort Worth and Denver railroad providing the primary transport corridor through the center of the quadrangle. Small rural social hubs such as Carrs Chapel and the Harmony Community Center in Harmony mark the community structure of the time, while the presence of Oil Wells and the Snead Landing Strip suggest the diversification of land use beyond traditional farming. Drainage patterns like Crawfish Draw and Crawfish Creek cut through the otherwise level High Plains terrain, anchoring the small settlements of Barwise and Allmon to the local topography.
