1953 Map of Sevenmile Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Sevenmile Basin dominates this 1953 landscape in the Texas Panhandle, a region defined by its distinct depression contours and scattered playas. The terrain is bisected diagonally by the Panhandle and Santa Fe (AT&SF) railroad, which served as a critical corridor for transport across the High Plains. Along the western edge, the settlement of St Francis sits near the county line, providing a focal point for researchers interested in the agricultural and rail-dependent communities of Carson and Potter counties. The presence of the Tony Ridge Clubhouse in the southeast corner suggests a localized social or recreational landmark within the vast ranching and farming expanses. This survey captures the area just before the significant expansion of modern infrastructure, preserving the exact layout of the plains' natural basins and early 20th-century transportation networks.
