About this map

The northern High Plains landscape of Sherman County is defined by a series of Pipelines and service structures that highlight the mid-century energy infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle. Grounded by the presence of Spurlock Chapel, the area exhibits a mix of sparse settlement and industrial utility. A prominent Pumping Sta and scattered gas wells across the terrain indicate the regional focus on natural resource extraction during the 1960s.

Evidence of local industry is further visible at the Gravel Pit and Gravel Pits sites, which often supplied materials for the expanding road network and infrastructure projects of the era. The small settlement area of Folsom serves as a secondary focal point on this sheet, illustrating the rural distribution of communities that persisted alongside the sprawling energy developments of the mid-20th century.
