1966 Map of Simms NE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The High Plains of the Texas Panhandle are defined here by the winding course of Cottonwood Creek and the flat, high-elevation divide between two counties. This 1966 topographic study captures the boundary between Oldham Co and Deaf Smith Co, a landscape characterized by isolated basins and wide-open rangeland. Human activity in the mid-1960s is represented by an east-west Pipeline cutting across the center of the sheet and several scattered Well sites, indicating the subsurface resources of the region. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the creek, providing a clear look at the terrain before modern agricultural or industrial shifts. It is a quiet, functional landscape where the only named landmarks are the watercourses and the infrastructure required to extract and transport energy across the Llano Estacado.
