1976 Map of Anton NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The agricultural grid of the High Plains dominates this orthophoto map, where the winding course of Blackwater Draw cuts a distinct path through Hale County. Captured in the mid-1970s, the aerial imagery reveals a landscape defined by circular pivot irrigation patterns and vast rectangular fields, showing the intensive land use of the Texas Panhandle. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophotograph provides a direct visual record of the ground surface, highlighting the subtle depressions and drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado. The path of Blackwater Draw serves as the primary geographic landmark in an otherwise uniform expanse of productive farmland, illustrating how natural watercourses influenced the layout of rural property lines and early road systems in this part of Texas.
