1971 Map of Dry Creek NE

About this map

The Canadian River carves a wide path through this Roberts County landscape, creating a stark division between the dissected plateau to the south and the drainage basins to the north. In the early 1970s, this area of the Texas Panhandle remained largely open ranchland, defined by ephemeral waterways like Sourdough Creek and Picketts Ranch Creek. The map documents the early infrastructure of the regional energy industry, noting an Oil Well and a prominent Pipeline corridor cutting across the terrain.
