1964 Map of Wellington

About this map

The town of Wellington serves as a prominent hub on this Panhandle landscape, where the local street grid centers on a Courthouse and High Sch. The Fort Worth and Denver railroad cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain, illustrating the critical role of rail transport in connecting these agricultural plains to larger markets. To the south, Fresno appears as a smaller outlying point of interest amidst a network of seasonal watercourses including Log Creek, Buck Creek, and Sand Creek. Cultural landmarks such as the Old Wellington Cem and Marian Airpark offer specific points for genealogical and local historical research. The presence of Gravel Pits in the southern portion of the quadrangle points to the local extractive industries that supported the region's infrastructure during the mid-20th century.
