1965 Map of Whiteface
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Whiteface sits at the intersection of rail and road in the Texas Panhandle, defined by the extensive Levelland and Slaughter Oil and Gas Field. This mid-1960s landscape shows a transition between the organized grid of the town and the industrial footprint of energy extraction, with a dense network of pipelines and service roads cutting across the High Plains. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad bisects the northern section of the map, supporting the local economy alongside numerous wells and gravel extraction sites. The terrain is marked by the natural depression of Lost Draw, which provides a rare departure from the surrounding flat topography. A solitary Radio Tower and a Roadside Park near the county line offer discrete landmarks in this wide-open ranch and oil country, while the boundary between Cochran and Hockley Counties runs vertically through the center of the survey.
