About this map

The Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River dominates this mid-1980s landscape in Childress County, carving a wide path through the Texas Panhandle. This era shows a working ranching and utility environment, marked by numerous wells and a Corral situated near the headwaters of Salt Creek. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Jonah Creek and Grassy Creek, which feed into the primary river valley.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by a prominent Pipeline corridor and the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts across the southwest corner near Baylor Creek. A remote Landing Strip located in the northeast, tucked between Horse Creek and the river bluffs, highlights the necessity of aerial access in this expansive cattle country. The map serves as a record of the region's mid-century water management and land use, from isolated tanks to extensive property fence lines.
