1962 Map of Spring Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The North Fork Red River dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its wide, braided bed carving through the Panhandle terrain near the Wheeler and Gray county line. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals a region defined by energy extraction and transport, evidenced by the extensive Gas and Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells peppered across the rolling plains. The Fort Worth and Denver railway runs parallel to the river, serving as a critical artery for the area's industrial output. Water sources like Sweetwater Creek, Graham Creek, and Spring Creek wind across the northern half of the quadrangle, providing drainage for the ranchlands and industrial sites alike. This document captures the infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle during a period of significant petroleum activity, marked by various Pipeline networks and active Gravel Pits.
