About this map

The town of White Deer serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s Texas Panhandle study, situated along the vital corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The community layout reflects a period of established local infrastructure, featuring the High Sch, Buck Stadium, and a Rodeo Ground that speaks to the region's cultural heritage. Surrounding the town, the landscape is defined by the extensive Oil Field and numerous Gas Wells, illustrating the petroleum industry's dominance over the local economy during this era.

Genealogists will find particular value in the clear marking of both Sacred Heart Cem and White Deer Cem, providing essential locations for family history research. Topographical details like White Deer Creek and a nearby Quarry contrast with the industrial footprint of pipelines and a Pumping Sta. This survey captures the intersection of traditional agriculture and ranching with the infrastructure required for large-scale energy extraction in Carson County.
