About this map

Elm Creek and Little Wolf Creek define this Panhandle landscape as they wind through the borderlands of the eastern Texas line. The 1963 field check records a quiet ranching and energy-producing region, marked by sparse settlements like Needwood and the presence of a Gas Well and Gravel Pit. Cultural history is anchored at the Needwood Cem, while the natural topography is punctuated by landmarks such as Antelope Peak and a Natural Bridge near the northern drainage of Crow Creek.

Transportation is limited to a network of local roads and a Jeep Trail, reflecting the isolation of the Collingsworth and Beckham county line during the early 1960s. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns of numerous named tributaries, including Wagon Creek, Lost Creek, and the uniquely named O M Creek, showing the varied terrain before modern development altered the rural character of the Texas and Oklahoma border.
