About this map

The agricultural and energy landscape of the Texas Panhandle centers on Littlefield, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts diagonally through a grid of section lines and irrigation wells. Surveyed in the early 1960s with updates through 1979, the map illustrates a town undergoing mid-century development, evidenced by the established residential core around Laguna Park and the appearance of a Drive-in Theater and Trailer Park on the outskirts.

Local civic life is anchored by landmarks like Emmanuel Ch, the High Sch, and the Littlefield Country Club. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a sprawling Oil Field and an extensive network of water wells, reflecting the region's dual reliance on petroleum extraction and irrigated farming. Researchers will find significant detail in the township's layout, including specialized sites like the Radio Tower (KZZN) and the Littlefield Cem.
