1966 Map of Lake Diversion

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Lake Diversion dominates the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking a significant point of water management where the Wichita River is diverted for irrigation and municipal use. The map captures the infrastructure of the Texas Rolling Plains, showing the South Side Canal and the detailed layout of the Dundee Fish Hatchery just below the dam. This era was characterized by the intersection of water conservation and the petroleum industry, evidenced by the extensive Potts Oil Field to the north and the Kadane Oil Field to the south. Local landmarks like the Clear Lake Landing Strip and Palo Pinto Tank provide specific points of interest for researchers tracing the development of Archer and Wichita Counties. The map also delineates the intricate boundaries where Baylor, Wilbarger, Archer, and Wichita Counties meet amidst a network of seasonal drainages like Sadler Creek and Blackberry Creek.
