1984 Map of Canyon SE

About this map

Happy sits on the southern edge of this West Texas landscape, marking a point of transition between the high plains and the drainage systems that carve into the Llano Estacado. The topography is defined by the winding course of South Cita Creek, which snakes through the eastern half of the map, and the seasonal drainage of Happy Draw to the south. This 1984 provisional edition highlights the industrial infrastructure of Randall County, notably the Pipeline, Trans Line, and an Aqueduct that traverse the region. These features, alongside numerous surveyed elevation points, illustrate the mid-century management of water and energy resources across this portion of the Panhandle before more modern developments altered the surface landscape.
