1951 Map of Iatan

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Howard County and Mitchell County line bisects this landscape, dominated by the industrial and transport corridors that define West Texas. The Pacific and Missouri railroad lines run parallel across the central plains, passing through the settlement of Iatan. This era of mapping shows a landscape of resource extraction and water management, evidenced by the extensive Tank Farm in the south and various industrial landmarks like the Caliche Pit. Water features are critical in this arid terrain, with Iatan Lake and several man-made reservoirs including California Tank and Watson Tank providing necessary infrastructure. Topographically, the land transitions from the Flat S plains to the more varied relief near Rattlesnake Gap, while numerous windmills and pipe lines crisscross the territory, serving the needs of the local cattle and oil economies.
