1976 Map of Memphis NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lakeview serves as the central focal point of this 1976 orthophotoquad, where the rigid geometry of the West Texas agricultural grid meets the natural winding course of Oaks Creek. The aerial imagery reveals a landscape defined by intensive land management, showing a complex pattern of terraced fields designed for moisture retention in the dry Panhandle climate. These contour-plowed fields are punctuated by deep, brushy drainages and arroyos that feed into the central creek bed, illustrating the local struggle with soil erosion and water runoff. The small settlement of Lakeview appears as a compact cluster of structures along the primary east-west corridor of Route 256, providing a clear record of the town's footprint and local rural infrastructure in the mid-1970s before modern consolidation changed many small Texas farming communities.
