About this map

The Amarillo Municipal Airport dominates this landscape on the Potter and Randall county line, showcasing the mid-century aviation infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle. Extensive rail networks converge near the airport, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, and the Fort Worth and Denver lines. These tracks served local commerce and industrial points like the Grain Elevators at Pullman and the nearby siding at Tapke.

Residential and community development is concentrated around the Highland Park Sch and the hospital complex to the north. Smaller settlements like Folsom and Brady are situated along the rail corridors, while the southern portion of the map transitions into more open terrain marked by Pipelines and scattered agricultural features. Cultural details from the era, such as a Drive-in Theater and a Racetrack, reflect the social life of the expanding Amarillo suburbs during the 1950s.
