1965 Map of Silverton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lone Star sits at a geographic crossroads on the High Plains where the borders of Briscoe, Floyd, and Swisher counties meet. This mid-1960s landscape is characterized by a dense network of water wells and numerous depressions typical of the Llano Estacado. The southeastern corner of the map reveals the transition toward the canyonlands, marked by the winding course of Quitaque Creek. Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad line and a nearby Landing Strip, while an Old Railroad Grade hints at earlier transportation routes that once traversed these agricultural lands. Small family-named landmarks like Gill provide specific points of interest for local historians studying the rural development of the Texas Panhandle during this period.
