About this map

The city of McLean is the primary focus of this early 1960s survey, showing the community as it functioned along the path of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The map records a transition in the local landscape where urban recreation and industry met the surrounding ranch land. Prominent features include the Hillcrest Cem on the town's western edge, alongside localized landmarks like the Rodeo Ground, Golf Course, and a Drive-in Theater.

The geography is dominated by ephemeral watercourses typical of the Texas Panhandle, including the winding beds of South Long Dry Creek, Little Skillet Creek, and Wells Creek. This survey captures the town’s infrastructure just as it spanned the boundaries of Gray, Wheeler, Donley, and Collingsworth counties, with the McLean Landing Strip and a municipal Sewage Disposal facility marking its mid-century footprint.
