1967 Map of Tampico Siding

About this map

Fort Worth and Denver railroad tracks anchor the northern reach of this Texas Panhandle landscape, where the isolated Tampico Siding serves as a lone point of transport infrastructure amidst a complex drainage system. The terrain is defined by a dense network of erosional features, including the aptly named Oxbow Trap Canyon, Lloyd Canyon, and Mullin Canyon that feed into larger watercourses. To the south, the land transitions into the more open Wolf Flat, marked by the seasonal flow of the Wind River and a local Gravel Pit. The map captures a moment of ranching and transit in Hall County, where extensive fence lines and cattle-country markers like Buffalo Creek and Cottonwood Creek weave through the draws and canyons. This 1967 survey, with revisions noted through 1981, provides a detailed look at the rural land use and hydraulic patterns before modern agricultural shifts or road developments.
