1934 Map of Cliffside

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

JY Ranch, LX Ranch, and Cross Bar Ranch dominate this Panhandle landscape, illustrating the massive scale of early 20th-century Texas cattle operations. The Canadian River cuts through the northern section, its valley served by the Canadian River Store and the remote outpost of Puente. The map reveals a transition from traditional ranching to industrial infrastructure, evidenced by the Amarillo Sewage Disposal Plant and the Bishops Quarry near the Tascosa and Amarillo Highway. Significant transportation networks converge here, including the Panhandle and Santa Fe and the Denver City and Fort Worth and Denver City railroads, which facilitated the region's growth. Educational and community focal points like Pleasant Valley Sch and settlements such as Cliffside and Juilliard provide essential markers for genealogists tracing family roots in Potter County during the 1930s.
