About this map

The Panhandle and Santa Fe (At&Sf) Railway cuts a diagonal line across this High Plains landscape, marking the industrial backbone of Potter and Moore Counties in the early 1950s. This survey reveals an era defined by intensive petroleum development, with scores of Gas Wells and an extensive network of Pipe Lines crisscrossing the terrain. The presence of the Fain Compressor Sta underscores the area's role in fuel transport and processing. Beyond the industrial footprint, the natural topography remains prominent, characterized by the prominent John Ray Butte and a complex drainage system including John Ray Creek, Lahey Creek, and Big Canyon. Near the small landing at Marsh, the map illustrates a rugged intersection of natural hydrology and man-made infrastructure typical of the Texas Panhandle's energy-rich ranchlands.
