1965 Map of Exum

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Exum stands as the primary rail point in this Texas Panhandle landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts a straight line across the plains. The presence of Storage Bins at this junction underscores the area's agricultural reliance on rail transport for grain and livestock. The terrain is defined by the winding course of North Palo Duro Creek, which provides the only significant break in the flat topography. Beyond the small settlement of Exum, the map reveals an emerging energy economy, marked by numerous Gas Wells and an occasional Oil Well. This survey captures a moment where four Texas counties — Dallam, Hartley, Sherman, and Moore — converge at a single surveying point, illustrating the precise administrative boundaries of the High Plains during the mid-1960s.
