1969 Map of Foster

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks cut across the northwestern corner of this West Texas landscape, connecting the small settlement of Lahey to the wider region. The terrain is characterized by numerous depressions and the winding course of Sulphur Springs Draw, which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle. This 1969 survey captures an era of active land use in Terry County, where the agricultural presence is marked by a Cotton Gin and a prominent Water Tank. Scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit indicate the local extractive industry, while the community of Foster and the nearby Foster Cem provide a focal point for genealogical research. The map's high-resolution topography reveals the subtle drainage patterns and land contours essential for understanding the historical development of this High Plains environment.
