1970 Map of Morton NW

About this map

Armstrong serves as the primary named marker in this portion of the Texas Panhandle, a landscape defined by its grid-based agricultural development and subsurface water resources. The terrain is dotted with numerous Well and Wells sites, reflecting the intensive irrigation required for farming in Cochran County during the late 1960s. This pattern of water extraction, often accompanied by a local Tank, illustrates the engineering required to sustain agricultural life on the high plains. The map's network of improved and unimproved roads follows the rigid section lines of the Texas Water Development Board's survey system, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the time of the 1970 field check.
