1962 Map of Twitty

About this map

The North Fork Red River carves a winding path across the southern portion of this Panhandle landscape, defining the topography of Wheeler County in the early 1960s. The small settlement of Twitty sits near the center of the sheet, serving as a local hub amidst a network of drainage systems like Bronco Creek and its East Branch. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the era, specifically within the expansive Gas Field that occupies the river's northern banks. This energy production infrastructure, including scattered Oil Wells, is balanced by localized features like the Center Cem and a nearby Sandpit. The terrain is also marked by several seasonal water sources, simply labeled Spring, which were vital for the ranching operations that historically dominated this part of the Texas plains.
