1962 Map of Hudgens Ranch

About this map

McClellan Creek and its tributary Peterson Creek carve through the landscape of the Texas Panhandle in this 1960s study. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching territory characterized by family-named holdings like the Hudgens Ranch and Dial-Dickey Ranch. The presence of an aboveground pipeline and a Pumping Sta indicates the mid-century infrastructure supporting the region's energy interests, while numerous extractions such as a Gravel Pit and Sandpits suggest local industrial activity along the drainage basins. High-elevation terrain features like Stage Hollow overlook the creek beds, providing a clear picture of the land use patterns where cattle ranching and resource extraction intersect. Genealogists and local historians can trace specific property locations including the Pursley Ranch and Word Ranch near the winding course of the local waterways.
