About this map

Wolf Creek carves a deep, winding path through the center of this Panhandle landscape, creating a distinct topographical break from the surrounding plains. The 1980s economy of the region is clearly defined by extensive oil and gas fields and the prominent line of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which links the northern grain and trade centers of Perryton, Booker, and Darrouzett. Settlement is clustered along this rail corridor and major highways like Route 15 and 83.

Local recreation is anchored by Wolf Creek County Park and the nearby Deeds Res. Smaller, more isolated rural points like Lipscomb, Higgins, and Barton Corners dot the southern half of the map, where the terrain breaks into numerous tributary drainage systems such as Kiowa Creek and Mammoth Creek. The map also includes the Oklahoma border to the north and east, showing the intersection of Texas and Oklahoma ranching and energy country.
