1953 Map of Plemons

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Plemons sits on a high terrace overlooking the wide valley of the Canadian River in this mid-century survey of the Texas Panhandle. The settlement is surrounded by an active industrial landscape, dominated by the Moore Watkins Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells and clusters of Oil Tanks. This period of mapping documents the intersection of old ranching roots and the post-war petroleum boom, evidenced by the many Windmill sites and cattle country Ruins scattered among the drilling operations. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Bugby Creek, Moore Creek, and Smokehouse Creek, which have carved out distinctive features like the prominent Bluff and Edge. Local historians can trace the proximity of the community to its Cem, providing a clear record of the area's late ranching and early oil era.
