1983 Map of Tolbert

About this map

Tolbert sits along the Burlington Northern railroad in the northern Texas Panhandle, anchoring a landscape defined by its riparian drainage and agricultural layout in the early 1980s. The topography is shaped by several meandering watercourses, including Elizabeth Creek, Dan Creek, and Boggy Creek, which eventually lead toward the Pease River at the southeastern corner. To the west, the settlement of Farmers Valley is positioned near the Hardeman Co Wilbarger Co line. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure during this era, noting a small Cem near the tracks and the intricate network of secondary roads that connected isolated farmsteads across the prairie. The transition from the higher ground near Wildcat Creek to the river lowlands illustrates the natural drainage patterns that dictated early land use and transportation corridors in this part of Wilbarger County.
