1965 Map of Southland

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The high plains landscape of the Texas Panhandle is defined by industrial extraction and small settlements along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. Centered on the boundary of Lynn and Garza counties, this mid-1960s survey documents a region dominated by the Suniland Oil Field and the P H D Oil Field, where numerous wells pockmark the terrain. The community of Southland serves as a local hub, featuring the nearby Resthaven Cem and several local quarries. To the east, the topography shifts abruptly at Red Hollow Can, providing a break in the otherwise steady elevation. Smaller locales such as Hackberry, Gordon, and Pleasant Valley are anchored by crossroads and scattered farmsteads, reflecting the rural settlement patterns typical of the Llano Estacado during this era of peak petroleum production.
