1976 Map of Meadow SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lakeview stands as the primary namesake settlement in this 1976 orthophotoquad, which captures the distinct land-use patterns of the High Plains south of Lubbock. This specialized imagery, produced by the United States Geological Survey from high-altitude aerial photography, provides an unfiltered view of the agricultural geometry of the region. The map reveals the interplay between rectangular section-line roads and the circular signatures of center-pivot irrigation, a technology that was rapidly transforming West Texas farming during the mid-1970s. Interspersed throughout the fields are the dark, organic shapes of ephemeral playa lakes, which dot the landscape and offer a stark contrast to the rigid human-made boundaries of Lynn County. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this rectified photoimagery documents the exact density of farmsteads and rural development as they existed during the Bicentennial era.
