1984 Map of Buffalo Lake SW

About this map

Tierra Blanca Creek winds through the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural landscape. The northeast corner of the sheet is dominated by the National Wildlife Refuge, where Buffalo Lake provides a critical stopover for migratory birds in an otherwise semi-arid region. This 1980s data illustrates the managed water resources of the era, marked by numerous Tanks and Wells distributed across the terrain to support livestock and farming.
