1972 Map of Washburn Arroyo

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Washburn Arroyo carves through the Panhandle landscape along the border of Roberts and Hemphill counties, revealing a mid-century industrial profile focused on energy extraction. This 1972 field-checked survey highlights a dense network of infrastructure, where numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells are connected by an extensive Pipeline system. In the southeast corner, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad follows the path of Red Deer Creek, providing a vital transit corridor through the drainage basins of Home Ranch Creek and Simmons Creek. The presence of a Jeep Trail and a Gravel Pit further illustrates the practical, working nature of the Texas plains during this era, where the economy was tied directly to the subterranean resources and the rail lines that moved them.
