About this map

Floydada serves as the focal point of this High Plains survey, showcasing a developed municipal grid characterized by its educational and civic infrastructure. The town's layout includes several local landmarks such as Peoples Hospital, Andrews Ward Sch, and Della Plain Sch. To the south, the terrain shifts dramatically as the flat plateau gives way to the deep incisions of Blanco Canyon, where the White Blanco River carves through the landscape. This area is marked by industrial activity, specifically several Claypits and a Claypit near the canyon rim.

Transportation and recreation patterns of the mid-20th century are evident in the presence of the At&Sf railroad line and an Old Railroad Grade running east. Cultural and leisure sites like the Floydada Country Club, a Drive-in Theater, and Annie M. Taylor Park reflect the community life of the era. The settlement of Lakeview appears in the southeast corner, providing a point of interest for those tracing the wider county's historical geography.
