1971 Map of Carson

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Carson sits at the heart of this Hughes County landscape, where the Texas and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the undulating terrain between Dustin and Barnard. The region's mid-century petroleum economy is etched into the earth through numerous Oil Wells, Drill Holes, and a central Pumping Station, showing a developed industrial footprint amidst the rural drainage basins. The Canadian River forms a major geographic boundary in the southeast corner, marking the divide where Hughes Co and Pittsburg Co meet. Waterways like Turkey Creek and Middle Creek meander through the hills, providing the natural structure for a landscape defined by its mix of resource extraction and transit infrastructure during the early 1970s.
