1967 Map of Tody School

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks cut across this Texas Panhandle landscape, following the winding course of Cowboy Creek through the rugged breaks of the eastern High Plains. The area is defined by the convergence of several drainages, including Sweetwater Creek and Graham Creek, which have carved deep relief into the terrain. In the late 1960s, the rural community life centered around Tody Sch, a small educational landmark located just north of the rail line. The landscape shows a mix of traditional ranching infrastructure and modern industrial utility, evidenced by a large Pipeline that bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle and scattered Gravel Pit operations. This survey captures the jurisdictional meeting point where Gray, Wheeler, Hemphill, and Roberts counties converge, illustrating how the natural topography dictated early transportation routes and settlement patterns in this part of Texas.
