1953 Map of Sevenmile Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

U S A E C Pantex Plant dominates this High Plains landscape, its industrial footprint etched into the panhandle terrain during a period of significant military-industrial expansion. The map records the complex operations of the Atomic Energy Commission facility alongside the Texas Technological College Research Farm, illustrating the shift from traditional ranching to specialized government and academic land use in the mid-20th century. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad bisects the southern portion of the sheet, providing the critical logistics link for the region's industry and the small settlement at St Francis. Natural depressions like Pantex Lake and the broader Sevenmile Basin punctuate the landscape, while social hubs like Liberty Clubhouse and Tony Ridge Clubhouse suggest the persistent community life found within this administrative and industrial corridor.
