1966 Map of Easter

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The High Plains of the Texas Panhandle are defined here by the diagonal cut of Frio Draw as it meanders across the border of Deaf Smith Co and Castro Co. In the mid-1960s, this landscape was characterized by a sparse network of ranch roads and a reliance on subterranean water, evidenced by the numerous wells scattered across the quadrangle. The small settlement of Easter sits in the southeast, featuring a Po and serving as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural community. To the northwest, the industrial infrastructure of the era is represented by a Radio Tower and the heavy rail line of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, which slices through the corner of the map. Between the rail line and the tiny station at Frio, a large-scale Pipeline cuts a straight path across the drainage, illustrating the transition between traditional ranching and modern energy transport.
