1966 Map of Lake Stamford East

About this map

Lake Stamford dominates this mid-1960s survey of Haskell County, serving as a focal point for both local recreation and utility infrastructure. The reservoir is marked by the Stamford Corporate Boundary and features lakeside amenities like Scott Memorial Park and multiple Picnic Areas. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Paint Creek, Horse Creek, and California Creek, which carve through the terrain before meeting the lake. This era shows the active management of water resources in West Texas, evidenced by the presence of a Powerplant, a Pumping Sta, and an Aqueduct. Petroleum exploration is also visible through numerous scattered Drill Holes and an Oil Well located in the northwest. Local transportation is highlighted by landmarks such as Scott Crossing, providing a specific look at the rural connectivity of the region before further modern development.
