1966 Map of Ford

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Palo Duro Creek carves a deep, winding path across this landscape, defining the topography of this portion of the Texas Panhandle during the mid-1960s. The settlement of Ford sits on the high plains above the creek, while the Conkwright Ranch occupies the lower ground near the water's edge to the southeast. This survey, conducted just after the midpoint of the century, highlights an intensive focus on resource extraction and water management, evidenced by the high density of labeled Well sites and a specific Claypit located near the creek bluffs. The grid-like arrangement of roads and property lines contrasts sharply with the natural erosion patterns of the creek, illustrating the intersection of ranching operations and environmental constraints in Deaf Smith County.
