1968 Map of Corry

About this map

Corry sits at the junction of agricultural life and early infrastructure on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle. This map captures the landscape as it transitioned in the late 1960s and 1970s, defined by the county line between Lamb Co and Hale Co. The terrain is characterized by the wide, shallow depression of Blackwater Draw, a significant prehistoric and geological feature that cuts across the southwest. The presence of numerous wells and a prominent Pipeline underscores the region's reliance on groundwater for farming and the growing energy network of the era. On the eastern side of the sheet, the Sheerod Landing Strip indicates the importance of private aviation for local ranching or crop-dusting operations in this expansive territory.
