1963 Map of Clarendon SE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Windy Valley dominates the northern landscape of this Texas Panhandle region, where the flat upland plains transition into the deeply dissected canyonlands of the Bitter Creek drainage. In the early 1960s, this area remained a sparse ranching environment defined by the Chamberlain Community Center and scattered livestock headquarters like the Bitter Creek Ranch (West Hdqrs). The map reveals a complex hydraulic network where numerous seasonal waterways such as East Lelia Lake Creek and West Bitter Creek carve through the breaks, illustrating the classic erosional topography of the eastern Caprock. Numerous wells are marked across the valley floor, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater for the survival of remote homesteads and local community hubs in this arid Donley County terrain.
