1936 Map of Cliffside

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Canadian River carves a deep valley across this Potter County landscape, where ranching and rail infrastructure defined the Panhandle in the 1930s. Large cattle operations such as the LX Ranch, JY Ranch, and Bivins Ranch anchor the rural territory, while the northern outskirts of Amarillo show early urban expansion through the Pleasant Valley Sch and the Amarillo Sewage Disposal Plant. The maps shows a critical junction of transit and industry, featuring the Panhandle and Santa Fe and Fort Worth and Denver City railroads intersecting near the settlement of Cliffside. From the industrial activity at Bishops Quarry to the isolated Canadian River Store, the survey captures a transitional moment as traditional ranching country began to integrate with the growing infrastructure of the Tascosa Highway.
