1965 Map of Levelland East

About this map

The growing community of Levelland serves as the focal point of this survey, which captures the city's eastern expansion across the West Texas High Plains. The landscape is a distinct blend of institutional growth and petroleum industry, evidenced by the presence of South Plains Jr College and numerous Oil Wells peppered throughout the surrounding countryside. Transportation and social infrastructure are firmly established by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad running east toward Opdyke, alongside a dense network of local schools like Capitol Sch and Carver Sch. Mid-century leisure culture is also visible through the Drive-in Theater and the Levelland Country Club. On the western edge, the Municipal Airfield and a nearby Racetrack suggest a regional hub in development during the 1960s, while the Cem and St Michaels Sch & Ch provide key touchpoints for genealogists.
