1963 Map of Hart SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Agricultural development and hydrological features define this High Plains landscape along the boundary of Castro and Lamb Counties. The map illustrates a region heavily reliant on water management, dominated by the winding course of Running Water Draw and its North Fork. Small-scale industrial and ranching operations are visible, such as the Thompson Gin and a large Feedlot, which indicate the area's economic focus on cotton processing and livestock. Numerous water wells and scattered depressions are mapped throughout the terrain, providing a look at the irrigation infrastructure that transformed this part of the Texas Panhandle. A solitary Corral and a Pit further emphasize the land use patterns typical of the 1960s prior to the expansion of more modern industrial farming techniques.
