1967 Map of Carey

About this map

Carey sits along the Fort Worth and Denver rail line in this West Texas survey, serving as a focal point for local agricultural and transit history. The landscape is defined by the proximity of Baylor Lake and Lake Childress, water bodies that provided essential resources for the surrounding prairie. To the southeast, the Childress Municipal Airport and a prominent Drive-in Theater mark the mid-century expansion of local infrastructure and recreation. For genealogists, the Carey Cem offers a vital connection to the families who settled this corner of Childress County. The presence of a vast network of pipelines and a local Pumping Sta reflects the industrial development of the region, while the natural drainage of Baylor Creek and Grassy Creek continues to shape the rolling terrain toward High Point.
