About this map

Jackson Hill rises as the central topographic landmark in this high plains landscape, situated within a region defined by scattered playa lakes and a network of water wells. Surveyed in 1969, the map reveals a sparsely populated section of the Texas Panhandle where the Indefinite Boundary between Armstrong Co and Swisher Co runs across the northern edge of the sheet. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, marked by the presence of Ackley and an electrical Substa near the western border.

Local history is anchored by the Vigo Park Cem in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary genealogical record for the surrounding community. The terrain is further shaped by the winding path of Pleasant Draw, which cuts through the plateau. This 1960s study captures the essential infrastructure of rural West Texas, from the numerous well sites supporting local ranching to the established roads connecting these isolated landmarks.
