About this map

Twitty serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1962 landscape of the Texas Panhandle, positioned near the drainage of East Branch Bronco Creek. The map documents a rural economy transitioning through the mid-20th century, where traditional landmarks like the Center Cem exist alongside burgeoning industrial activity. A sprawling Gas Field dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, indicating the region's significant energy production role during this era.

The North Fork Red River meanders across the lower portion of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries such as Roundup Creek. Evidence of local extraction and infrastructure is scattered throughout the terrain, from an Oil Well and multiple unnamed wells to a Sandpit located near the riverbank. This survey, photo-inspected in 1976, provides a detailed record of Wheeler County's water sources and land use before major modern shifts in agricultural or energy infrastructure occurred.
