1984 Map of Chillicothe

About this map

Chillicothe serves as the focal point of this Hardeman County landscape, situated at a vital junction of the Burlington Northern and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The town's economic foundations are evident in the presence of a Grain Elevator and a network of Oil Wells scattered to the north. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Wanderers Creek and Groesbeck Creek, which flow toward the Red River at the Oklahoma border. Local land use is further illustrated by the inclusion of a Cemetery and multiple Gravel Pits, alongside infrastructure such as Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Roadside Park along Highway 287. The map documents a period where agricultural storage and fossil fuel extraction shared the land with extensive rail corridors, marking a point of transition in North Texas industry and transport.
