About this map

Lexington sits at the heart of this late-1970s landscape, straddling the border between Clark and Comanche counties. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems that carve through the high plains, including the winding paths of Cavalry Creek and Lone Tree Creek. This survey records the rural infrastructure of the era, highlighting local gathering points like the Community Hall and the Lexington Cemetery.

Smaller settlements such as Stephens and Bluff appear along the southern reaches of the map, connected by a system of section-line roads and unimproved trails. The topography shows the distinctive transition from flat uplands into the broken country surrounding Buzzard Creek and Nichols Creek. The map also delineates a portion of the Protection area, reflecting the local administrative and land-use boundaries of the period.
