1968 Map of Grow NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad cuts across the northern reaches of this Cottle County landscape, providing a vital transportation artery for a region defined by cattle ranching and water management. Small rural communities like Narcisso and Valley View serve as local anchors, while Delwin sits near the southern boundary. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of named windmills, such as Shorty Smock Windmill, Steel Pen Windmill, and North Shinnery Windmill, which highlight the critical infrastructure required for livestock in this semi-arid environment. To the west, the Tongue (South Fork Pease) River carves through the terrain, joined by seasonal water features like Buck Creek and Dry Lake. This map reveals a late 1960s ranching economy where family-named landmarks like Swenson and Ford Windmill denote decades of land use and local heritage.
