1965 Map of Dewey Lake SE

About this map

Lacy Creek and a network of ephemeral watercourses like the Draw define this Glasscock County landscape in the mid-1960s. The region is marked by its transition from ranching infrastructure to industrial development, featuring multiple Gravel Pits and an extensive Pipeline network. Named landmarks such as Morgan Windmill and Schoolhouse Windmill provide specific touchpoints for local family history, reflecting the essential water-scavenging infrastructure of the Texas high plains. Transportation is centered on Route 158, where a Roadside Park and an electrical Substation reflect the modernization of the rural corridor. This survey was conducted just as aerial photogrammetric methods and planetable surveys were coming together to provide high-resolution topographic data for this cattle and energy-producing area.
