1962 Map of Kimball

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts across the northwest corner of this Panhandle landscape, serving as a primary transport artery for the surrounding agricultural and energy sectors. Energy production dominates the local economy, marked by the extensive Shapley Gas and Oil Field, North Gas and Oil Field, and Hansford Gas and Oil Field. The topography is defined by the dramatic descent into the Farwell Draw and the course of Palo Duro Creek in the south, where the plains give way to more complex drainage patterns. Small settlements like Kimball and Tomlinson provide focal points for local history, while the Farwell Cem remains a significant landmark for genealogical research. The presence of numerous wells and a pipeline network illustrates the mid-century industrialization of this section of Hansford County.
