1971 Map of Garcia Lake

About this map

Garcia Lake dominates the northern plains of this High Plains landscape in Deaf Smith County, just as the 1970s began. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent into the Tierra Blanca Creek valley, where the watercourse carves a winding path across the southern section of the quadrangle. This area represents a quiet, rural ranching and agricultural district where human presence is marked by scattered Wells and a lone Community Center near the center of the sheet.
