1966 Map of Simms NW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Slaughterhouse Draw carves a path through this high plains landscape, defining the rugged topography of the Panhandle during the mid-1960s. This survey, grounded in planetable methods, illustrates the intersection of Oldham and Deaf Smith Counties along an indefinite boundary. The era's infrastructure is clearly visible, with a long Pipeline and a Telephone Booster Station marking the shift toward modern utility networks. Water management is a central theme of this arid region, as evidenced by scattered features like Slaughterhouse Well and various unnamed wells and pumping facilities. Small-scale human activity is further indicated by a Radio Tower and a Pumping Sta, reflecting the functional, utility-driven development of the rural Texas landscape at this time.
