1964 Map of Sonora

About this map

Sonora serves as the focal point of this West Texas survey, situated at the confluence of the Dry Devils River and several significant arroyos. The 1964 landscape reflects a community integrated with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which skirts the eastern edge of the town center. Local infrastructure of the era is remarkably detailed, featuring the Municipal Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and the Radio Tower (KCKG) near the town's southern perimeter. Beyond the developed streets, the terrain is marked by hydrological features such as Lowrey Draw and Shurley Draw, alongside emerging industrial markers like various pipelines and flood control structures designated as Site No 8 and Site No 13. The presence of several gravel pits and a Golf Course northwest of the airport indicates the varied land use between extraction and local recreation.
