1966 Map of Boise

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Boise sits as a small settlement in the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, defined by the industrial presence of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. In the mid-1960s, the landscape here was a mix of cattle ranching and modern infrastructure, where the Bridwell Ranch and Harwell area transitioned into the vast topographic features of East Strip and West Strip. These escarpments reveal the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the region's geography. Evidence of human activity and travel is scattered throughout the survey, from the Quarry in the northeast to the Roadside Park along Highway 40. The southern portion of the map is largely dominated by the Oldham Co Deaf Smith Co boundary and natural depressions like Hay Lake, which serve as critical drainage points in this semi-arid environment.
