1966 Map of McAdoo

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The High Plains of West Texas meet the sharp breaks of the Rolling Plains in this mid-1960s study of the McAdoo area. The landscape is defined by the sudden transition from flat upland cotton and grain fields to the deeply incised drainage of Grape Creek, which cuts a significant canyon through the southwestern portion of the map. Settlement is concentrated around the community of McAdoo near the Dickens County line, where the McAdoo Cem and a small Landing Strip served the local agricultural population. The map captures smaller, isolated locales like Broadway, featuring the Pansy Ch, and the named points of Croen and Allan along the eastern boundary. Surface water is sparse on the caprock, though numerous small depressions or playas dot the landscape, contrasted by the more rugged relief where Dockum Creek begins its descent off the escarpment in the southeast corner.
