1971 Map of Hereford SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Tierra Blanca Creek meanders through the Texas Panhandle landscape, carving a distinct valley across the high plains of Deaf Smith County. In the early 1970s, the eastern edge of Hereford reveals an economy tied to transportation and resource extraction, with numerous Gravel Pits and industrial infrastructure like Storage Bins lining the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. This survey highlights the region's aviation and utility focus, featuring both the Hereford Municipal Airport and the smaller Paetzold Airport to the south. Notable water management and industrial features are evident, including Salt Evaporators along Frio Draw and extensive Sewage Disposal Ponds, reflecting the infrastructure required for the growing agricultural and municipal needs of the area at this time.
