1964 Map of Bull Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The High Plains landscape of Lamb County is defined by agricultural precision and industrial infrastructure in this mid-1960s study, later updated to reflect the evolving environment of the late 1970s. Amherst sits at the northern edge of the sheet, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal line across the grid of section lines and irrigation wells. The namesake Bull Lake and the winding Bull Draw provide the primary topographical relief in an area otherwise dedicated to production, evidenced by numerous gravel pits and a Quarry. Local history is anchored by the Amherst Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, while mid-century culture is represented by a Drive-in Theater near the town center. The presence of the Littlefield Municipal Airport and prominent Radio Towers highlights the region's role as a transportation and communication hub for the surrounding Texas panhandle plains.
