About this map

Agricultural innovation and rural infrastructure define this West Texas landscape during the late 1960s. The community of Halfway serves as a central hub, notably hosting the High Plains Research Foundation, reflecting the region's focus on scientific advancement in farming. The terrain is marked by a high density of irrigation infrastructure, with numerous Wells dotting the plains to support the local economy.

Evidence of local transportation and industry is seen at the Laney Farm Landing Field and various Storage Bins scattered across the quadrangle. Local life is centered around community landmarks such as Halfway Park and the Halfway Cem. Natural drainage is represented by the Running Water Draw in the northeast corner, providing a rare topographical break in an otherwise meticulously organized grid of fence lines and access roads.
