About this map

Enochs sits at the northeastern corner of this 1969 survey, representing a concentrated pocket of activity on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle. The landscape is defined by the agricultural industry of the era, marked prominently by a Cotton Gin and a nearby Radio Tower. The terrain is punctuated by numerous small depressions and catchment areas, many of which contain a Well or Wells, illustrating the critical role of groundwater management on these semi-arid lands during the late 1960s.

The map spans the Bailey Co Cochran Co line, tracing an Indefinite Boundary through the center of the sheet. Industrial presence outside of farming is indicated by a Gravel Pit in the southeastern quadrant, suggesting local resource extraction to support the road networks of the South Plains. This map provides a clear look at the specialized infrastructure, from irrigation to processing, that sustained the region's cotton-growing economy.
