About this map

Industrial rail infrastructure and agricultural boundaries define this portion of the Texas plains during the late 1960s. The landscape is marked by the diagonal convergence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Roscoe Snyder and Pacific railroads, which served small siding communities like Inadale and Wastella. These rail lines were central to the local economy, facilitating the transport of cattle and materials through Scurry, Fisher, Mitchell, and Nolan counties.

Evidence of local heritage is found at the Pyron Cem and the Lone Wolf Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists. The terrain, drained by Buffalo Creek and Wolf Creek, is dotted with numerous Gravel Pit operations and a Pumping Sta, reflecting a landscape defined by resource extraction and utility. The convergence of four county lines underscores the area's significance as a jurisdictional crossroads in West Texas.
