1968 Map of Ginsite

About this map

Buck Creek and Salt Creek carve through the rolling landscape of Cottle County in this 1968 study, which was updated with 1979 aerial data to reflect subtle changes in the terrain. The small community of Ginsite serves as a local focal point alongside Sneedville to the south. These settlements, connected by a network of unimproved and light-duty roads, illustrate the dispersed agricultural nature of the region during the late 1960s. The presence of Harmony Ch suggests a longstanding community center for the surrounding families. In the southern portion of the sheet, the North Wichita River winds across the terrain, highlighting the drainage patterns essential to this part of the Texas panhandle. The map also records mid-century infrastructure developments, such as a prominent Pipeline and a Sewage Disposal site near the northern boundary.
