About this map

Bivins Lake forms the centerpiece of this Randall County landscape, where the waters of Palo Duro Creek are captured by a prominent Spillway. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of the Negro Arroyo as it cuts through the High Plains towards the creek bed. This 1984 edition, based on earlier aerial photography and field checks, reflects a mid-century ranching and utility infrastructure. Notable industrial and agricultural imprints include a large Feedlot and various Gravel Pit operations. The presence of a localized Aqueduct, a Pipeline, and a Substa highlights the managed water and energy systems required to sustain this Texas Panhandle environment. Numerous wells are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating the importance of groundwater to the local economy and land use during this era.
