USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Canadian River carves a deep path through the Texas Panhandle in this survey, defining a landscape dominated by large cattle ranches and the burgeoning petroleum industry. Numerous family-named homesteads and operations, such as the Ingerton Ranch, McBride Ranch, and Poling Ranch, are spread across the broken terrain and canyons. The arrival of the Chicago Rock Island and Gulf railroad through Sanford and Fritch highlights the era's transport network, connecting these remote outposts to broader markets.
