1976 Map of Abernathy SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The community of Abernathy serves as the focal point of this 1976 orthophotograph, showcasing the stark, geometric layout of the High Plains of Texas. This aerial perspective, captured in March of that year, highlights the intensive agricultural grid surrounding the town, where massive center-pivot irrigation systems leave distinct circular imprints across the landscape. To the southwest, the subtle drainage of Blackwater cuts through the repetitive pattern of fields, indicating the natural hydrology of the Llano Estacado. The imagery provides a clear record of the town's footprint and industrial development at the Lubbock county line during a period of significant regional irrigation expansion. Researchers can observe the exact road networks and residential blocks of the era, contrasting the concentrated settlement of Abernathy against the expansive, productive farmland that defines the region's economy and history.
