1965 Map of Slaton NE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Yellow House Canyon dominates this 1960s landscape, carved by the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River as it winds through the high plains of West Texas. On the western edge, the city of Slaton serves as a hub where Slaton Road and a major Pipeline converge near the railroad tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. The map provides a detailed look at the rural economy of the era, illustrating the transition from the municipal infrastructure of Slaton to large ranching operations like the Wood Ranch, V Ranch, and Katy K Ranch. The industrial footprint of the region is evident through scattered Claypits, Gravel Pits, and a Quarry, while the jagged terrain of Long Hollow Canyon and the headwaters of Spring Creek showcase the erosional forces that define this portion of the Llano Estacado.
