1985 Map of Odell

About this map

Odell stands as the primary settlement on this Northwest Texas landscape, situated near the winding course of Wanderers Creek as it approaches the Red River border with Oklahoma. The area reflects a late-twentieth-century rural economy defined by agricultural reaches, scattered petroleum extraction in the local Oil Field, and industrial activity at the Gravel Pits. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant theme, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Burlington Northern railroads cutting through the terrain to serve the region's shipping needs. Notable geographical features such as Plum Hollow and Wildcat Creek define the local drainage patterns, while a small Landing Strip near the town site highlights the necessity of air travel in this expansive borderland.
