1953 Map of McBride

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Burnett Oil Field dominates this 1950s landscape in the Texas Panhandle, showing a dense network of extraction infrastructure concentrated along the Hutchinson and Carson County line. The petroleum industry defined local settlement patterns during this era, evidenced by worker outposts like Carsons Camp and Burnett Camp, alongside industrial hubs such as the Carson Plant. Transportation is anchored by the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad, which skirts the western edge near Mc Bride. Beyond the oil derricks and pipelines, the map documents the natural drainage of Dixon Creek and its tributaries, while an extensive Aqueduct system and an Oil Tank Farm (Abandoned) reveal the evolving management of resources. The presence of the 6666 Ranch in the southeast quadrant provides a glimpse into the enduring cattle ranching heritage that coexisted with the region's energy boom.
