1969 Map of Brownfield East

About this map

Brownfield anchors the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where the town's early expansion is visible alongside transportation and communication hubs like the Radio Tower (KKUB) and the Terry County Airport. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral path of Lost Draw, which meanders across the southern portion of the sheet. This natural drainage feature is a rare break in the otherwise steady, flat geography of the Llano Estacado. The map reveals the local economy and recreation of the late 1960s, showing several Gravel Pits and the Brownfield Country Club. The layout of section lines and unimproved roads reflects the systematic agricultural organization of Terry County, providing a clear view of the rural-to-urban transition during this era of West Texas development.
