1963 Map of Hedley

About this map

Hedley serves as the focal point for this survey of the Texas Panhandle, positioned along the northern plains where the landscape begins to fracture into the drainage basins of the southeast. The town's layout and its elevation bench mark are recorded alongside the natural hydrology that defines the local ranching environment. Drainage patterns such as Oklahoma Draw and Killfoil Draw cut through the high ground, while Hatton Creek marks the lower, more broken terrain to the south. The mapping of these features reflects the area’s reliance on intermittent water sources and natural topography for land management in Donley County during the early 1960s. This edition includes specialized data on local fence lines and woodland cover, offering a precise look at the rural spatial organization and vegetation during this period.
