1967 Map of Tell North

About this map

The small community of Tell anchors the southeastern corner of this West Texas landscape, positioned just above the boundary of Hall and Childress counties. This 1960s survey captures a transition in the local terrain, where the headwaters of several drainage systems converge. The branching forks of North Baylor Creek, South Baylor Creek, and Baylor Creek create a complex network of draws that dominate the central topography, eventually feeding into Baylor Lake in the northeast. This water-focused landscape is marked by numerous wells and intermittent streams like Rustlers Creek and Cox Creek, reflecting the essential ranching and agricultural infrastructure of the Texas Panhandle. Beyond the settlement at Tell, evidence of local industry is visible in the scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of a local cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for family historians studying this rural district.
