1967 Map of Tell South

About this map

The North Pease River meanders across this landscape in the southeastern Texas Panhandle, defining the shifting boundary between Cottle, Hall, and Childress Counties. The river valley is flanked by several significant drainage systems, including Running Water Creek and Richland Creek, which carve through the plains. This 1967 survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures the agricultural and industrial infrastructure of the region during a period of steady land use. Evidence of local utility and resource extraction is visible through the presence of a Pipeline crossing the northern territory and a Gravel Pit located near the southern bends of the river. To the northwest, smaller waterways like Joe Lake Cr and Devils Creek feed into the broader basin, illustrating the complex hydrologic network of this ranching and farming country.
