1956 Map of Shallowater

About this map

Shallowater stands as the primary hub of this West Texas landscape, positioned where the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the High Plains. The terrain is defined by the winding descent of Yellowhouse Canyon, which carves a distinct path through the otherwise level plateau. This mid-century survey captures a mix of agricultural utility and emerging recreation, featuring a Drag Strip and the Hillcrest Golf Course near the canyon floor. Local infrastructure is well-documented, from the Radio Range Sta to the small settlement at Broadview. The map also details early industrial and civic features like a Gravel Pit and Sewage Disposal site, alongside more leisure-focused landmarks including a Swimming Pool.
