1971 Map of Hereford NE

About this map

Deep within the Texas Panhandle, this early 1970s survey captures the industrial and agricultural character of the High Plains. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts across the southeast corner, serving as a vital artery for the region's ranching and farming economy. The landscape is defined by its water management and infrastructure, with numerous wells scattered across the terrain to tap into the underlying aquifer. Transportation and utility networks are clearly delineated, including the straight path of Progressive Road and a major Pipeline that traverses the quadrangle. A remote Landing Strip and an electrical Substa highlight the distributed nature of local infrastructure in this part of Deaf Smith County, reflecting a period of intensive land use and technological integration in rural Texas.
