1964 Map of Beck

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Deep within the High Plains of West Texas, this 1964 topographic study illustrates the agricultural and geologic character of the Bailey and Lamb County line. The landscape is defined by its subtle depressions and the prominent topographical feature of Bull Draw carving through the southern section. Small rural clusters like Friendship and the namesake Beck serve as the primary landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by wind-swept plains and scattered industrial activity. Evidence of local excavation is found at the Quarry and a Gravel Pit, pointing to the region's reliance on mineral resources during the mid-1960s. The map’s fine red dashed lines delineate selected fence lines, providing a rare look at the boundary-oriented nature of land use and ranching in this corner of Texas.
