1964 Map of Rolla SW

About this map

The hydrological network of Buck Creek and its seasonal tributaries dominates this section of the Texas Panhandle in Collingsworth County. This mid-1960s survey illustrates a rural landscape where drainage patterns like Wet Salt Creek and Dry Salt Creek indicate the varied flow of the local watershed. The presence of a Gravel Pit in the northeast corner suggests the modest industrial activity common to the region's ranching and agricultural economy. The terrain is characterized by dissected breaks and creek bottoms, particularly around Squaw Creek in the northwest, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography before modern land-use changes. Local-history researchers can use these watercourse names and relief patterns to identify property boundaries and land tracts as they existed during this era.
