1953 Map of Chunky

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Canadian River carves a deep path through this portion of Potter County, defining a landscape marked by steep canyons and seasonal drainage systems. During the early 1950s, this area supported a mix of ranching operations and industrial infrastructure, evidenced by the Kritzer Ranch and LX Ranch alongside several Gravel Pits. The Panhandle and Santa Fe Railroad cuts through the southwestern corner, providing a vital transportation link for the region's cattle and minerals. Water sources are critical in this arid terrain, with Bulldog Spring, Big Spring, and Tincup Spring dotting the map alongside various windmills and gas wells. The small settlement of Chunky sits along the rail line near Amarillo Creek, serving as a localized point of activity in an otherwise open ranching environment.
