1972 Map of Sunray
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The town of Sunray stands as a central hub in the Texas Panhandle during the early 1970s, defined by its relationship to energy, agriculture, and transportation. This survey reveals a landscape heavily punctuated by gas and oil wells, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad provides the industrial backbone for the region. To the north, the terrain is sharply carved by the meandering path of North Palo Duro Creek, which cuts through the high plains near the Sherman Co Moore Co line. Local aviation history is notable here, with both the Sunray Airport and the Roy Browder Landing Field serving the community's needs. Civic life is anchored by the City Park, the High Sch, and the Lane Memorial Cem, reflecting a period of established growth and regional infrastructure in Moore County.
