1970 Map of Lamesa South

About this map

Lamesa occupies the northern reaches of this West Texas survey, a High Plains community shaped by its position along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The town's layout reflects a classic mid-century educational and civic structure, featuring several neighborhood schools like V Z Rogers Sch and the central High Sch. To the southwest, the Lamesa West Oil Field indicates the region's industrial backbone, where pumping stations and storage tanks dot the landscape alongside the natural geography of Sulphur Springs Draw. Away from the urban grid, the map records the recreational and utility-based edges of town, including the Lamesa Municipal Airfield, the Rodeo Ground, and the local Memorial Park (Cem). The terrain beyond the town limits is defined by intermittent water features like Fivemile and scattered Gravel Pits, illustrating a landscape driven by resource extraction and cattle ranching.
