1986 Map of Lamesa

About this map

Lamesa serves as the primary hub of this West Texas landscape, which sits at the intersection of the High Plains and the rugged canyon breaks leading toward the Colorado River valley. The 1980s economy is clearly defined by the extensive energy infrastructure of the Good Oil Field, Ackerly Oil Field, and Diamond M Oil Field, illustrating the intensive industrial footprint on the land. To the east, the terrain drops from the Plains into a network of drainages like Holloway Canyon and Buck Canyon before reaching the waters of Lake J B Thomas.
