About this map

The High Plains landscape of Bailey County is dominated by the saline basins of Coyote Lake and Baileyboro Lake 3790, which break the otherwise consistent topography of this agricultural region. The small settlement of Baileyboro serves as the local hub, supported by a nearby Cem and an Airfield that underscores the necessity of aerial transport in this expansive Texas terrain.

A network of water extraction points, marked simply as Well, is scattered across the township lines, illustrating the intensive irrigation required for the area's crops in the early 1960s. Community life is anchored at the Longview Ch to the north, while local industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit located near the town center. This survey provides a meticulous record of fence lines and benchmarks like BM 3821, capturing a specific moment in the rural development of the Llano Estacado.
