1967 Map of Dickens North

About this map

Croton Breaks dominate the southern landscape of this Dickens County quadrangle, where the terrain transitions into a labyrinth of canyons and sharp elevation changes. The settlement of Dickens sits at the southern edge, serving as a hub near the historical Dickens Spring and the local Roadside Park. To the north, the small community of Elton is positioned along the primary roadway, surrounded by a network of drainage features like Washout Creek and Little Boggy Creek. This late-1960s survey provides a clear view of the rural ranching and land-management patterns of the Texas Panhandle, evidenced by the fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines across the open country. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Amity Cem and the prominent Mackenzie Peak, which stands as a landmark above the complex geography of Hobble Scobbie Canyon.
