1967 Map of Tell South

About this map

The North Pease River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of this landscape, its complex oxbows and alluvial flats contrasting with the surrounding plateaus. Located at the intersection of Hall, Cottle, and Childress counties, the area is defined by a dendritic drainage network where seasonal waterways like Running Water Creek and Devils Creek feed into the primary river valley. The terrain reveals a rural economy based on land management and resource extraction, evidenced by various Wells and local Gravel Pits located near the riverbank. This 1967 survey also highlights the boundary complexities of the region, including the Childress County and Cottle County Independent Boundary. A modern Pipeline traverses the northern section, cutting across the natural drainages of Joe Lake Cr and Brewster Creek, marking the integration of industrial infrastructure into this Texas Panhandle ranching environment.
