1965 Map of Floydada

About this map

Floydada serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, where the street grid is punctuated by community anchors like the Peoples Hospital, Eagles Hall Park, and Napoleon Park. Educational institutions of the mid-1960s are well-represented, including the Andrews Ward Sch and the more distant Della Plain Sch. To the southwest, the terrain shifts dramatically as the flat plains give way to the carved landscape of Blanco Canyon, where the Blanco River and White River converge near several Claypit operations. Transport and utility infrastructure define the area's development, evidenced by the At&Sf railroad lines, a localized Landing Strip, and a Drive-in Theater situated on the western edge of town. Smaller settlements and gathering points like Dada, Lakeview, and the Floydada Country Club reflect the social and agricultural distribution of Floyd County during this era.
