1964 Map of West of Kerrick

About this map

The borderlands of the Texas Panhandle and the Oklahoma state line characterize this 1960s landscape in Dallam County. The terrain is defined by wide agricultural expanses and the infrastructure of the energy industry, as indicated by a prominent Pipeline and a central substation. This survey, compiled from 1962 aerial photography and 1964 ground work, reveals a rural economy shifting toward industrial resource extraction, with several Gas Wells and clusters of storage bins scattered across the plains. Fine red dashed lines marking fence lines provide a rare level of detail for land-use historians and researchers tracking property boundaries in this sparsely populated region of the High Plains.
