1967 Map of Northfield

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Northfield sits as a quiet hub in this West Texas landscape, where the North Pease River carves a wide, braided path through the plains of the Panhandle. The map reveals a complex system of drainage and erosion, with prominent features like Cheney Mountain Creek, Price Canyon, and the deeply incised Housetop Canyon feeding into the main river valley. This 1967 field survey captures the intersection of three counties, marked by an indefinite boundary line that follows the river's course between the Hall, Motley, and Cottle county lines. The land use here is defined by cattle ranching and early petroleum exploration, evidenced by the numerous fence lines and a lonely Oil Well near Poker Canyon. Small water features like Lake Joe and the winding Bitter Creek provide essential resources in a region dominated by its dramatic topographic relief, including Cheney Mountain to the north.
