1966 Map of Lenorah West

About this map

Tarzan, Grady, and Lenorah dot the east-west corridor of this 1965 photogrammetric survey, capturing the agricultural and industrial character of Martin County. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral path of Mustang Draw, which cuts across the western portion of the sheet. At this time, the region was heavily shaped by resource extraction and utility infrastructure, as evidenced by a sprawling network of pipelines and a designated Pumping Sta. The map provides a unique view of rural Texas land management, where extensive fence lines are meticulously recorded alongside localized features like a Gravel Pit and numerous water tanks. The scattered clusters of wells across the quadrangle highlight the intensive groundwater and mineral development that sustained these High Plains communities during the mid-20th century.
