1962 Map of Fieldton

About this map

Fieldton and Hart Camp anchor this 1962 landscape in Lamb County, where the agricultural and industrial character of the Texas Panhandle is clearly defined by an extensive grid of irrigation and resource extraction. The area is dominated by the meandering course of Blackwater Draw, which cuts through the terrain, influencing the placement of early roads and small settlements. The map's high-density of water infrastructure, marked by numerous sites like Well 3583 and Well 3572, illustrates the transition to intensive groundwater-based farming in the mid-20th century.
