1966 Map of Bowers City

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The North Fork Red River carves a complex drainage system through Gray County, where the industrial landscape of the Texas Panhandle is defined by an extensive Gas and Oil Field. This 1966 survey documents the infrastructure supporting the region's energy economy, including a Refinery, a Pumping Sta, and multiple Gravel Pit operations. The small settlement of Bowers City sits at the nexus of these activities, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Reeves and essential utilities such as a Radio Tower and various water tanks. Transportation in the area is anchored by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, which cuts across the northern terrain. Hydrological features such as Grapevine Creek and its South Fork Grapevine Creek illustrate the natural runoff patterns that coexist with the heavy pipeline and drilling footprints of the mid-twentieth century.
