1962 Map of Wheeler SE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The North Fork Red River carves a wide, sandy path through this section of Wheeler County, defining the local topography as it flows toward the southeast. In the early 1960s, the region’s economy was centered on energy production and heavy infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the landscape. The Fort Worth and Denver railroad runs parallel to the river valley, providing a critical transport link for the Texas Panhandle. Extensive water management is visible through an Aqueduct and a Pumping Station near Bronco Creek, highlighting the efforts to harness the arid environment. This survey captures a moment when industrial developments like these were deeply integrated into the rural plains, marking the transition from ranching to a more diversified energy and resource-based economy.
