1967 Map of Paducah

About this map

Paducah serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, situated at the intersection of critical regional transit routes. The Quanah Acme and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through the territory, a vestige of the era's rail-dependent economy. To the northwest, the Matador Wildlife Management Area occupies a significant portion of the terrain, defined by the drainage of O X Creek and Shorty Creek. This 1967 survey, with revisions from 1979, illustrates a community balanced between its cattle-country roots and mid-century infrastructure. Within the town limits, local landmarks such as the Garden of Memories (Cem) and the Dan Richards Municipal Airport are clearly delineated, alongside more modern developments like the Golf Course and a prominent Radio Tower. Numerous gravel pits scattered across the central section point to the area's local extraction industries during this period.
