1967 Map of Northfield

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Northfield serves as the primary settlement in this West Texas landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate breaks of the North Pease River valley. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural plateaus into a deeply dissected terrain of canyons and creeks. Notable waterways such as Bitter Creek, Mountain Creek, and Cheney Canyon carve through the earth, illustrating the erosion patterns characteristic of the Rolling Plains. The intersection of Hall, Motley, and Cottle counties occurs within these breaks, marked by an Indefinite Boundary along the riverbed. Human activity is focused on ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and an Oil Well, while a major Pipeline cuts across the southern reach of the quadrangle. This 1981 update, based on late 1960s surveys, captures the region's enduring rural character and the geography of the Poker Canyon area.
