1953 Map of Cliffside

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Cliffside Gas Field Camp sits at the heart of an active extraction landscape in the Texas Panhandle, where numerous gas wells dot the drainages of Horse Creek and West Amarillo Creek. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from traditional ranching to industrial utility, as the Fort Worth and Denver railroad cuts through the terrain. Evidence of early settlement is preserved in small family and community grounds like Townsend Cemetery and Arnot Cemetery, while the local economy is reflected in the presence of Wesley Dairy and Mc Collum Dairy. On the eastern edge, the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club Firing Range and small settlements like Gentry and Cliffside mark the expansion of Potter County's infrastructure. These details, including named locations such as Wilkins Ranch and Bishop Ranch, provide a clear picture of the land's utility and the families who worked it during the early 1950s.
