1966 Map of Panhandle East

About this map

Panhandle serves as a critical rail and agricultural hub on the Texas High Plains in this mid-1960s survey. The town's industrial footprint is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels a massive Grain Elevator and a central Radio Tower, reflecting the era's reliance on both rail transport and emerging telecommunications. Outside the main settlement, the landscape is defined by the winding course of McClellan Creek and numerous water management features, including a Sewage Disposal site and various wells scattered across the prairie.
