1953 Map of Chunky

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Panhandle and Santa Fe (AT&SF) Railroad cuts a prominent diagonal across this mid-century landscape, passing through the small station at Chunky. This Panhandle terrain is defined by the winding course of the Canadian River and its numerous tributaries, including Rosita Creek and Amarillo Creek. The map documents a working landscape of ranching and resource extraction during the early 1950s, featuring the Kritzer Ranch and LX Ranch alongside numerous Gravel Pits and a solitary Gas Well. Water sources were critical to this environment, as evidenced by the mapping of named points like Bullfrog Spring, Tincup Spring, and Bog Spring. These features, combined with markers like the Windcharger and scattered Windmills, illustrate the practical infrastructure required for livestock and industry in this portion of Potter County.
