1976 Map of Anton NE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Blackwater Draw cuts a broad, meandering path across this agricultural landscape on the Llano Estacado. This 1976 orthophotoquad reveals the intricate textures of High Plains farming, dominated by large rectangular fields and the distinctive circular patterns of center-pivot irrigation systems that were rapidly transforming the region's water usage during this era. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this aerial survey provides a raw photographic record of the land surface, showing the scattered playa lakes and depressions that characterize the Hale County terrain. The lack of formal town sites or major intersections within this specific quadrangle emphasizes the purely rural and industrial nature of the West Texas cotton and grain belt in the mid-1970s.
