1983 Map of Claude NE

About this map

The Salt Fork Red River carves a deeply dissected channel across this High Plains landscape, creating a stark contrast to the surrounding flat plateau. This 1980s era survey captures a region defined by its physical geography and infrastructure, where the Carson Co and Armstrong Co line intersects with essential transit and utility corridors. To the north, the terrain is marked by an Underground Pipeline and the industrial presence of a Gravel Pit, signaling the local economy's reliance on mineral extraction and resource transport. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the rural, open character of the Panhandle during this period, with the landscape dominated by the winding river valley and the straight-line paths of regional highways.
