1962 Map of Kelton SE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The North Fork Red River carves a broad path through the eastern Panhandle, defining the rugged hydrology of this region in the early 1960s. This survey, produced by the USGS in cooperation with the Texas Water Commission, focuses on the canyon-cut terrain where Salt Creek flows southeast toward the state line. The landscape reflects a mix of ranching and emerging resource extraction, indicated by numerous Storage Bins near the river and isolated Oil Wells scattered across the southern plateaus. Surveyors also documented active Gravel Pits and a specific Spring south of the main river fork, providing a detailed record of the local water sources and industry during this period. The map further delineates the exact junction where the Panhandle meets the Oklahoma border, showing the intersection of Wheeler and Beckham counties.
