1969 Map of Gomez

About this map

Lost Draw meanders through this portion of Terry County, defining a landscape marked by the agricultural and industrial patterns of the late 1960s. The small settlement of Gomez sits along the eastern edge of the survey, while Johnson occupies a central position to the west. This area of the Texas South Plains is characterized by numerous wells and several water tanks scattered across the grid-like property divisions, indicating the importance of groundwater management in this semi-arid region. In addition to water resources, evidence of local extraction appears in the form of a Gravel Pit and a prominent Pipeline that cuts across the southern terrain. This survey, compiled from 1968 aerial photography and 1969 planetable methods, preserves the exact locations of survey markers like BM 3388 and the network of unimproved roads that connected these High Plains communities before modern expansion.
