The town of Lockney serves as the hub of this West Texas agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of significant rail lines during the mid-1960s. The Fort Worth and Denver and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads crisscross the plains, dictating the growth of settlements like Muncy. The terrain is defined by its playa lakes and the winding path of Running Water Draw in the southwest corner. Local life is reflected in the presence of the Fairground on the eastern edge of Lockney and a Water Tank near the tracks. This survey, conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Texas Water Development Board, also meticulously plots numerous irrigation and water wells across the grid, highlighting the intensive groundwater dependency of Floyd County farming.
