1962 Map of Muleshoe NE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Blackwater Draw cuts across this high plains landscape on the border of Bailey and Lamb Counties, revealing an agricultural and industrial network caught in 1962. The map depicts a region defined by extensive groundwater irrigation, evidenced by the dense grid of wells scattered across the terrain. Local commerce and community life are anchored by the Nickels Gin and the Pleasant Valley Community House in the northern reaches, while the southwest corner shows the industrial footprint of the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad line running alongside a large Reservoir and Radio Tower. The inclusion of various Sandpits and a complex system of Jeep Trails provides a detailed look at the resource extraction and rural transport patterns of the Texas Panhandle during the early sixties. Natural features like Soda Lake contrast with the highly surveyed and fenced-off agricultural sections.
