1964 Map of Rolla NE

About this map

The Salt Fork Red River carves through the northern reaches of this Collingsworth County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns as it flows southeast. The mid-1960s terrain is characterized by broad agricultural fields and ranch land, segmented by fine fence lines and dotted with occasional industrial activity. Evidence of local extraction is visible in the form of a Quarry and a Gravel Pit, while a significant Spillway Elev 2166 suggests water management efforts in this semi-arid region. Transportation and commerce are anchored by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad line, which cuts a straight path across the plains toward the river. Smaller seasonal waterways like Cottonwood Creek weave through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural geography that influenced early Texas Panhandle land use.
