About this map

North Palo Duro Creek carves a distinct path through the High Plains landscape of the Texas Panhandle, crossing the boundary between Sherman Co and Moore Co. In the mid-1960s, this area reflects a specialized industrial and agricultural character, dominated by energy extraction and rail logistics. Numerous Gas Wells and Wells dot the terrain, connected by a network of pipelines that traverse the plains. The concentrated settlements of Cactus and Etter serve as focal points for the region's industry, supported by a dual-rail network. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads meet here, facilitating the movement of resources. Local infrastructure like a Pumping Sta, Water Tank, and various Gravel Pits highlight the active maintenance and industrial utility of the Panhandle during this era.
