About this map

McLean serves as the focal point for this 1963 survey, a Texas Panhandle community positioned at the intersection of livestock culture and transportation infrastructure. The town's layout is defined by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and features characteristic mid-century amenities, including a Drive-in Theater, a Golf Course, and the Rodeo Ground situated near the town center. Local history is anchored at the Hillcrest Cem on the northern edge of the settlement.

The surrounding landscape is marked by the seasonal drainage of the High Plains, where South Long Dry Creek and Skillet Creek carve through the terrain. Evidence of regional aviation and public works is seen at the McLean-Gray Co Airfield and the Sewage Disposal plant. Notably, this map captures a unique four-county boundary intersection in the southern half, where Gray Co, Donley Co, Wheeler Co, and Collingsworth Co meet.
