1970 Map of Borger
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Dial Oil Field and Borger Oil Field define the industrial character of this landscape north of the Canadian River during the early 1970s. The city of Borger is the central hub, showing a dense street grid including Main St, Jefferson St, and Sixth St, alongside prominent institutions like Frank Phillips College and Coronado Sch. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of the era, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serving a network of chemical and carbon black plants south of Bunavista. Local geography is shaped by water features such as Rock Creek and Weatherly Lake, while the northern hills are marked by the Johnson Tank Farm and numerous pipelines. This survey documents the intersection of rapid mid-century municipal growth and the heavy petroleum industry that sustained these Texas Panhandle communities.
