1985 Map of Anton

About this map

Anton and the surrounding plains of the Texas Panhandle are captured here during a period of established agricultural and industrial utility. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of water wells and storage tanks, reflecting the intensive irrigation required for farming in this region. This 1985 survey illustrates how the local economy integrated with transportation, showing the town of Anton situated alongside a major railway line. Further northwest, the smaller siding or loading point at Bainer serves as a secondary focal point for rural activity. The natural topography is shaped by the wide, meandering path of Yellow House Draw, which cuts across the central portion of the map. This feature is contrasted by human-engineered additions like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Gravel Pit, demonstrating the active management of the land for municipal and industrial needs near the Lamb Co Hockley Co border.
