1963 Map of Flagg

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Running Water Draw and its North Fork Running Water Draw meander through this Castro County landscape, defining the topography of the High Plains. This 1960s study, supported by the Texas Water Commission and the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1, reveals a high density of water infrastructure across the plains. Dozens of identified wells, including Well 3888 and Well 3814, indicate a heavy reliance on the Ogallala Aquifer for regional agriculture and settlement. The small community of Flagg and the location of Big Square serve as the primary human landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of irrigated land and intermittent drainage patterns. The map provides a precise look at the rural intersection of hydrology and habitation in West Texas during a period of significant agricultural development.
