1962 Map of Kimball

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The High Plains of Hansford County are defined here by a stark contrast between flat tabletop uplands and the deeply etched drainage systems of Palo Duro Creek. This era of the early 1960s highlights the extensive petroleum infrastructure in the Shapley Gas and Oil Field and the North Gas and Oil Field, where numerous gas wells and pipelines traverse the landscape. Small rural hubs like Kimball and Tomlinson anchor the grid-patterned road network, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts through the northwestern corner near Shapley. Natural landmarks such as Millers Lake and the winding course of Farwell Draw provide the primary relief in an otherwise industrial agricultural landscape, punctuated by local landmarks like the Gruver Cem.
