1962 Map of Hansford

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Palo Duro Creek carves a deep, dendritic drainage system across this High Plains landscape, revealing a territory defined by the energy and transport infrastructure of the early 1960s. The settlement of Hansford sits atop the northern bluffs, marked by local landmarks like the Hansford Cem and a Water Tank. To the south, the industrial character of the region is evident in the sprawling Hansford Gas and Oil Field, where numerous well sites dot the terrain between the creek’s winding branches. The lower portion of the map is dominated by the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad line, which passes through Mc Kibben near a series of Storage Bins. This alignment of rail and resource extraction illustrates the mid-century economic engine of the Texas Panhandle, supported by smaller operations like a local Gravel Pit and Claypit.
