1953 Map of Phillips

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Borger Oil Field dominates this mid-century landscape of the Texas Panhandle, revealing an intricate industrial network of wells and pipelines centered around Phillips. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the petroleum industry, from the Refinery and Oil Tank Farm to an Experimental Laboratory and a Borger Terminal. While oil production is the primary driver of the local economy, the terrain is deeply etched by Dixon Creek and Bear Creek as they flow toward the Canadian River in the north. Settlement patterns include residential clusters like Phillips Camp and Travelers Camp, alongside rural focal points such as Haile Ch and Spring Creek Sch, providing a detailed look at the social and industrial geography of Hutchinson and Carson counties during the post-war oil boom.
