1985 Map of Snyder

About this map

The rolling plains of West Texas are defined by the convergence of the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River and the Clear Fork Brazos River in this mid-1980s map. The regional hub of Snyder sits at the intersection of major rail lines, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Roscoe Snyder and Pacific. This era captures the area's transition into a modern petroleum and educational center, anchored by Western Texas College and served by aviation facilities like Winston Field. Beyond the city limits, the landscape is dotted with smaller communities and agricultural outposts such as Hermleigh, Claytonville, and Rotan. The southern edge of the survey reaches toward the industrial and transport nodes of Sweetwater, while the north and west are characterized by distinct landforms like the Mc Kenzie Mountains and Cox Hollow.
