1970 Map of Phillips

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The heavy industrial landscape of the Texas Panhandle is defined here by the extensive Borger Oil Field and the neighboring Moore Watkins Oil Field. Established as a company town in the late 1920s, Phillips sits at the heart of this activity, showing a dense grid of residential streets, a High Sch, and an Athletic Field surrounded by a complex network of pipelines and storage tanks. The terrain is deeply dissected by the drainages of Dixon Creek and Bear Creek, which flow toward the wide valley of the Canadian River in the northwest. Scattered throughout this petroleum-rich area are signs of rural community life, including the Haile Ch and Spring Creek Sch, alongside extractive infrastructure like Gravel Pits, Pitch Pits, and a Caustic Pit.
