1965 Map of Idalou
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Idalou serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, where the agricultural economy is etched into the grid of the High Plains. The convergence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Fort Worth and Denver railroads highlights the town's importance as a shipping point for the region's cotton harvest. The industrial character of the mid-1960s is evidenced by the prominent Cotton Gin and a nearby Quarry, while the local civic layout includes a High Sch and the Idalou Cem east of the main townsite. The topography is defined by numerous playa lakes and depression contours, characteristic of the Llano Estacado. Smaller landmarks like the Airport and a Sewage Disposal Pond reflect the infrastructure supporting this rural community during a period of steady development.
