1966 Map of Simms

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Palo Duro Creek winds through the southern reaches of this High Plains landscape, carving out the primary drainage feature in a region defined by agricultural utility and water management. The small settlement of Simms serves as the focal point of the area, situated at a junction near several benchmarks that underscore the precision of the mid-1960s topographic survey. The land is heavily marked by the search for resources and water, evidenced by the numerous Wells and an individual Well scattered across the grid-like sections, alongside a localized Gravel Pit that points to early industrial or road-building activity. The topographic lines illustrate the subtle but significant elevation changes that direct the flow of intermittent waters toward the creek bed, revealing how the local geography dictated the placement of homesteads and infrastructure in Deaf Smith County.
