1965 Map of Heckville

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Becton and Heckville anchor this mid-1960s agricultural landscape on the High Plains, where the Hale Co Lubbock Co line divides the terrain. The map documents a highly developed industrial farming system, characterized by hundreds of irrigation wells and structures like the Silo located near the northern boundary. Transportation and utility corridors are prominent, with the Fort Worth and Denver railroad cutting through the eastern portion of the quadrangle and a long Pipeline segment running across the western fields. Genealogists and local historians will find the Becton Cem particularly significant, as it remains a key landmark for the small settlement. The topography is defined by numerous shallow depressions and basins, typical of the Llano Estacado, which were critical for managing water in this intensive cotton and grain producing region during the mid-twentieth century.
