1983 Map of Lark

About this map

The settlement of Lark anchors this 1980s survey along the northern High Plains, where the flat agricultural tableland drops abruptly into the complex canyon topography of the Salt Fork Red River. This transition is clearly marked by the Indefinite Boundary and the line separating Carson Co Armstrong Co. While the north is defined by rural infrastructure like Grain Bins and the thoroughfares of 40 and 66, the southern half of the map reveals the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the Red River system. Local activity is concentrated near the railroad corridor, evidenced by a Cem and Gravel extraction sites, reflecting the primary industries and small-town footprint of this Panhandle region during the early 1980s.
