1984 Map of Wayside

About this map

Wayside stands at the transition between the flat High Plains and the dramatic escarpment of the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River. This 1984 survey reveals an agricultural landscape dotted with numerous wells and cattle-related infrastructure, including a large Feedlot and a Rodeo Ground. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Cobb Canyon, Happy Canyon, and McGehee Hollow, which drop away from prominent overlooks such as Indian Trail Point and Wilson Point. Local history is marked by a Historical Monument overlooking Old Home Draw, while the presence of a Landing Strip and Gravel Pits reflects the area's mid-century rural utility. The complex drainage network, featuring Antibust Creek and Pleasant Draw, illustrates the erosive power that has shaped this portion of the Texas Panhandle.
