1953 Map of Pomeroy

About this map

The USAEC Pantex Plant and the nearby Pantex Lake anchor the southeast corner of this Texas Panhandle landscape, illustrating the region's mid-century industrial and atomic era development. The terrain is defined by the carved drainage systems of West Fork Antelope Creek and East Fork Antelope Creek, which slice through the high plains toward smaller bodies of water like Rockwell Lake and Icehouse Lake. Early ranching life is represented by the Deal Ranch and Williams Ranch, while small-scale rail or roadway stops such as Pomeroy, Masterson, and Willton mark the sparse but essential points of human settlement. Numerous Gas Wells and an extensive Pipe Line network reveal the underlying energy economy that shaped Carson County. Communication infrastructure is also prominent, with specific sites for Radio Towers (KGNC) and a corresponding Transmitter (KGNC) located between the creek forks.
