1972 Map of East Dry Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the northern section of this landscape, its wide bed defining the drainage patterns for numerous seasonal streams like East Dry Creek and Morgan Creek. In the early 1970s, this portion of the Texas Panhandle remained a sparsely populated rangeland, characterized by the Home Ranch and its namesake Home Ranch Creek. The map reveals a transition toward industrial land use, marked by the proliferation of Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and a prominent Pipeline that bisects the terrain. Genealogists may find interest in a lone Grave located near the bluffs of Morgan Creek in the northeast. The rugged character of the area is further emphasized by the numerous Jeep Trails that serve as the primary means of navigation through the breaks and draws leading down to the river valley near the Roberts and Hemphill County line.
