1966 Map of Lockney

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Lockney (Site) serves as a primary marker in this high plains landscape of Quay County, illustrating the sparse settlement patterns of eastern New Mexico in the mid-1960s. The region is defined by an extensive network of named water sources and drainage features, including Shallow Well Draw, Butler Draw, and Saggert Draw, which were essential for ranching operations. The presence of numerous wells bearing family names, such as Willis Well, Keyes Well, Frampton Well, and Brice Well, highlights the genealogy of local landholders and the vital importance of groundwater. Transportation in the area relies on a grid of unimproved routes like Lockney Road and Obar Road, while a Jeep Trail and various fence lines suggest the working nature of this rural terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching infrastructure before modern developments, preserving the locations of historical cattle tanks and homestead sites.
