1984 Map of Estelline NW

About this map

The rolling plains of the Texas Panhandle converge at the tri-county corner of Collingsworth, Hall, and Childress counties. This landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Jonah Creek and Dry Salt Creek, which carve intricate patterns into the local topography. Human infrastructure is sparsely but deliberately placed across this cattle-country terrain, marked by a lonely Corral and a functional Water Tank supporting ranching operations. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts a diagonal line across the southwestern corner, serving as the primary industrial link to the region's cattle and cotton markets. Bryants Lake provides a significant water source in an area characterized by scattered wells and buried pipelines, illustrating the ongoing effort to manage water resources in this part of West Texas during the mid-1980s.
