1965 Map of Floydada SE

About this map

The dramatic incision of Blanco Canyon cuts across this High Plains landscape, where the White River and its tributary Crawfish Creek have carved deep relief into the Texas Panhandle terrain. Published in the late 1960s, this survey documents the borderlands of Floyd and Crosby counties, a region defined by large-scale ranching and mineral extraction. Evidence of the local economy is visible through various Claypits and a Gravel Pit along the canyon slopes, while the upland areas are dotted with numerous wells. Isolated outposts such as Montgomery Ranch and Bridwell Ranch speak to the dispersed settlement pattern of the era, while Lakeview Cem in the north and the small station of Parrish provide essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing families in this portion of the Llano Estacado.
