1969 Map of Foster

About this map

Foster and Lahey appear as small, rural outposts in the West Texas landscape of Terry County. The topography is defined by the sweeping course of Sulphur Springs Draw in the south, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the northwest corner, signaling the region’s connection to broader commerce. This survey captures a moment when the local economy was driven by both agriculture and resource extraction, visible through numerous Oil Wells and a Cotton Gin situated along the roads. Genealogists may find the Foster Cem particularly valuable for tracing early settlers of the area. The landscape is dotted with scattered Wells and a prominent Water Tank, reflecting the essential nature of water management in this arid environment.
