1971 Map of Little Indian Creek

About this map

Bivins X L Ranch anchors the eastern side of this Panhandle landscape, representing the storied cattle ranching traditions of the region. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Little Indian Creek, Sand Creek, and Corral Creek which flow toward the Canadian River at the southern edge of the map. The map captures a moment of active industrial development in the Texas Panhandle's energy sector. Numerous Gas Wells and Drill Holes are scattered across the high plains and dissected breaks, connected by a prominent Pipeline running through the central corridor. This documentation of early 1970s extraction infrastructure alongside established ranching lands provides a precise record of the land use patterns along the Moore and Potter County line during a period of transition.
