1967 Map of Tampico Siding

About this map

The Fort Worth And Denver railroad cuts a diagonal path across this Hall County landscape, serving the remote Tampico Siding in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of erosional features, where the Wind River and Buffalo Creek have carved deep into the plains. These waterways are joined by numerous named draws and canyons, such as Chinaberry Draw, Mullin Canyon, and T Bar Canyon, illustrating the high-relief topography characteristic of the Texas Panhandle's canyonlands. Small-scale industry is present in the form of a Gravel Pit, while broader landmarks like Wolf Flat and Mockingbird Draw provide specific points of reference for local history and genealogy. The map details a transition from the structured railway corridor to the wilder, deeply dissected breaks of Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries.
