1965 Map of Hilburn

About this map

Hilburn and the small settlement of Grisham anchor this agricultural landscape on the High Plains, mapped during a period of significant water resource monitoring by the State of Texas Texas Water Development Board. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Running Water Draw, which carves a distinct path through the surrounding fields. Industrial and community life are marked by the presence of a Valley View Ch, alongside several extractive sites like a Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit. The Fort Worth and Denver railroad cuts a sharp diagonal across the northern section of the map, serving as the primary transportation artery for the region's agricultural output. This survey captures the rural layout of the Panhandle where county lines for Castro, Hale, and Lamb all converge, highlighting the intersection of transit and topography.
