1964 Map of Kerrick

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts diagonally across this Panhandle landscape, serving as the primary corridor for agricultural and industrial transport. Near the northwestern corner, the settlement of Kerrick is defined by its proximity to the rail line, anchored by infrastructure like Storage Bins and a Storage Bin. This 1960s survey documents a region defined by high plains agriculture and emerging energy exploration, as evidenced by several Oil Well sites and a Pipeline traversing the southern portion of the sheet. In the northeast, the terrain breaks into more complex drainage patterns as it nears the North Canadian River valley at the Oklahoma Texas border. Near the southeastern edge, the map records the location of Mallett and a Gravel Pit, offering a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in Dallam County during the mid-20th century.
