About this map

Industrial infrastructure and petroleum extraction dominate the landscape of the Texas Panhandle as seen in this mid-1960s study. The settlement of Kingsmill and the nearby Kingsmill Camp serve as local hubs, positioned along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This rail corridor is a lifeline for the area's heavy industry, including a massive Chemical Plant, the Pampa Plant (Gas), and clusters of Storage Bins.

The southern portion of the sheet reveals the natural carving of the North Fork Red River, where the terrain drops sharply into a designated Oil Field and scattered Gravel Pits. While much of the land is dedicated to energy production—indicated by a dense network of pipelines and pumping stations—recreational spaces like the local Golf Course and Bell Lake provide a counterpoint to the busy extraction activities along the Carson Co Gray Co line.
