1963 Map of Kelton

About this map

Kelton sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where the high plains of the Texas Panhandle meet the Oklahoma border. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sweetwater Creek and its tributaries, including Moseley Creek and Salt Creek, which carve through the undulating ranchlands of Wheeler County. The map captures the infrastructure of rural life in the 1960s, showing a network of section roads and pipelines that service the scattered homesteads and livestock operations.
