1962 Map of Waka SW

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Deeply incised canyons of the Texas Panhandle define this landscape, where the meandering course of Palo Duro Creek cuts through the High Plains. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals an environment increasingly shaped by the petroleum industry, dominated by the Hansford North Gas and Oil Field and the Hansford Gas and Oil Field. While the terrain appears largely uninhabited, the dense network of roads and pipelines connecting various wells indicates significant industrial activity within the Oil Field zones. Natural water sources like Spring and Horse Creek provide rare landmarks in a region where topography is primarily shaped by water erosion and geological extraction, including a lone Quarry on the eastern edge of the breaks.
