1970 Map of Indian Canyon NW

About this map

Plain View Cem and the nearby community of Plains anchor this 1970 landscape where the High Plains of West Texas meet at a complex junction of three counties. This survey reveals a terrain defined by subtle depressions and numerous water wells, highlighting the critical role of groundwater for the ranching and farming operations scattered across the Llano Estacado. The intersection of Lynn, Dawson, and Borden counties is clearly delineated, alongside local landmarks such as Berry Flat Ch and the location of Huff. The map provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the network of unimproved roads and light-duty highways to a specific Gravel Pit used for local development. This data-rich topographic study serves as a clear record of the settlement patterns and land use in a region where small rural centers like Plains served as vital hubs for the surrounding high plains community.
