1967 Map of Winters

About this map

Winters serves as a hub of activity in this West Texas landscape, defined by a distinct urban grid that includes a Hospital, High School, and essential municipal infrastructure like the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal. The town's connection to the wider region is anchored by the Union Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the meandering course of Bluff Creek. The surrounding terrain is marked by the presence of an Oil Field, with numerous wells scattered across the ranch land and rolling plains. Local recreation and community life are evidenced by the Winters Country Club and the Athletic Field, while the Drive-in Theatre south of town offers a glimpse into mid-century social habits. Water management is a key feature of the area, seen in the reservoir system of Old Lake Winters and its Spillway, providing a vital resource for this semi-arid region.
