1967 Map of Carey

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Carey and the surrounding plains of the Texas Panhandle appear here in the mid-1960s, a landscape defined by ranching, water management, and transportation. The community of Carey sits along the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, which cuts a sharp diagonal across the terrain alongside a major roadway. To the west, the impoundments of Lake Childress and Baylor Lake contrast with the seasonal drainage of Baylor Creek and Grassy Creek, highlighting the vital importance of surface water in this semi-arid region. Local infrastructure is well-documented, from the Childress Municipal Airport and a Pumping Sta to the Carey Cem located south of the main settlement. Cultural markers of the era are also present, including a Drive-in Theater near the eastern edge of the survey. The map reveals a transition toward modernized transit and utility systems, with a prominent Pipeline and high-voltage lines traversing the rolling topography toward High Point.
