1965 Map of Acuff

About this map

The settlement of Acuff and the surrounding agricultural lands of the High Plains are captured here during a period of steady groundwater and petroleum extraction. Located near the Lubbock Co Crosby Co line, the landscape is defined by a dense grid of section-line roads such as Procter Road and Mimms Road, interspersed with numerous wells and the Ha-Na Field. Small communities like Midway and Robertson serve as local hubs for the farming and ranching families whose presence is suggested by the network of named thoroughfares like Winniford Road and Thomas Road. Several Landing Strips and a Quarry indicate the area's diverse industrial activity, from aviation to resource extraction, while the fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle denote established fence lines, providing a detailed record of 1960s land use and property divisions.
