1974 Map of West of Gruver

About this map

Coldwater Creek carves a winding path through the northern plains of the Texas Panhandle in this mid-1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the flat, high plains and the deeply eroded drainage basins that lead toward the creek bed. This transition zone is marked by industrial activity, particularly the extraction of oil and gas. Numerous Gas Well sites and an Oil Well are scattered across the terrain, connected by an extensive network of Pipelines and service roads. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary of Sherman Co Hansford Co, providing a clear look at how the county line intersects the natural topography and the developing energy infrastructure of the region. A solitary Pumping Sta and a Gravel Pit further indicate the era's reliance on the land's natural resources.
