USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The Southern Pacific RR and the Missouri - Kansas - Texas RR define the industrial corridor through the Dallas and Ellis County borderlands in the late 1950s. The town of Ferris is a focal point of activity, anchored by brick-making resources like the nearby Clay Pit and educational centers such as Dunbar High Sch. To the north, the smaller settlement of Wilmer sits along the rail lines, while the private Dufek Airstrip and numerous Gravel Pits suggest a landscape balancing aviation, transport, and resource extraction.
